I did see a Bertie Owen-like computer on eBay last week for under $300 from a reputable seller. I saved the link if you're interested.

It can't hurt. Please send it to me. I'll have a better idea of my options tomorrow; right now I am just frustrated and sad and feeling like I cannot get even a minimal break in this accelerating downward crash.

I hope Bertie is able to resurrect again.

Thank you. I hope so, too. The alternatives are not good.
