The Computer, Which Was Library Surplus, Goes To Green PC.

As viewed on display, 2007
Tacoma Public Library offered surplus computers in 2007.  These sat unclaimed on the first floor for several weeks, at last I decided it would be okay if I bought one for twenty-five dollars.  Tom Stenger, a friend from First Lutheran Church, drove it to the apartment and I plugged it in - it worked.  It has been in different spots in the apartment, and has been great. 

After some years of use, on to Green PC
Most places no longer use floppy discs, and the computer only wrote on floppy discs.  Today, the computer with monitor, keyboard, and mouse, along with three empty discs, went on a truck to Green PC.  I replaced the surplus computer but continue to think very well of the great twentieth-century "hummer".
