Wife and I went to an estate sale today and found a lot of neat 80's computing promotional materials and catalogs, books, and TRS-80 and Osborne software. I initially saw the Osborne and CP/M books in the bedroom (a little light bedtime reading?) and grabbed them because I own a couple Osbornes. We then found the rest of this stuff buried in the guy's study. The catalogs and pamphlets are neat to flip through...maybe I'll undertake scanning some of them. Anyways, here's a link to some pictures since I don't think I can attach them all here:

My wife also noticed this keyboard, and I grabbed it without knowing what it was because it was practically free:
Turns out it's a brand new, spent-its-whole-life-in-plastic replacement keyboard for an LNW-80...an improved TRS-80 clone that I'd never heard of. Anyone have one of those that needs a keyboard?
I asked the staff if they'd found any more computer stuff in the house since this guy had obviously owned some complete systems at some point, but they said no. Unfortunately, it sounds like he'd passed away over 10 years ago. Anyways, I just think this stuff is interesting
