I’m thinking of putting this on eBay and donating the proceeds to the Bentley Historical Library. I’m afraid it won’t get a lot of attention or a good price without some promotion. Am I delusional or does anyone else think this would be a collectible for well healed Michigan graduates who suffered through late nights at the North Campus Computing Center?

I’m looking for ideas.

How did I get this? Took it out of the dumpster after my office was bulldozed to make room for an on ramp to the Information Superhighway, as they used to call the Internet. 

Why does my brain keep saying Don’t Panic?

Brings back memories (MS CCS 1977), submitting jobs until the green light went off, then punching cards until it came back on.

Alas, I am not well-heeled.
