Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Comment on 'Practical Oracle 8i'
LOL A neighbor of mine had an original IBM PC, 64K RAM, 160Kbyte single-sided floppy, and the cassette port on the back so you could hook up a cassette recorder/play for data storage and retrieval, BASIC on EPROM. He wondered if the Smithsonian was interested. An old college classmate happened to be in charge of technology acquisitions for the Smithsonian so I gave him a call. He said that that was nice and maybe my neighbor could find a museum home for it elsewhere but that the Smithsonian already had 6 of them and was not interested.
If your friend can find a place that will accept it he might be able to take a tax deduction for the donation but I doubt if anyone will actually PAY for it.
