Do you have monitirs and Keyboards for all of them?

I have a number of fairly original keyboards and some older but not
original monitors.

In an effort to cleanup my house I gave my EGA monitor away to another
collector.

Just what I was thinking. EGA and CGA. Although I guess any older TV
would work
for CGA with an adapter.

(In the NTSC world, maybe.) If it had/has an external video in socket,
or the adapter has a modulator - and possibly only in monochrome, again
depending on whether the adapter has electronics in it.

New research shows that three to five cups of coffee a day will cut the risk of
Alzheimer's by about 60 per cent. There is also good evidence that tea is good
for memory. - Michael Mosley interviewed in Radio Times, 7-13 February 2009

Though my EGA monitor is gone, I think I still have a composite monitor
up in the attic.


Whatever it is, the input is an RCA jack

Interesting. But how reliable is that "research evidence"?
I just find it hard to believe they've been able to isolate this (tease out
all the other variables) to make such a definitive statement.

(Are either of your emails valid? I'd have sent this direct if I knew.)I doubt it; particularly the word "new" suggests it hasn't had too much
time to be peer-reviewed. I'm not sure why I added it into my quote file
now: possibly just because I liked the idea of something positive being
said about (or at least suggested for) coffee for a change.

I was going to say I gave chapter and verse so you could follow up, but
I suspect the Radio Times (a - once, the [it's just celebrated its
90th!] - listings magazine for the UK) isn't searchable. (Still, I
suppose you could google coffee and Alzheimer's, and/or possibly Michael
Mosley.)

There's a suggested mechanism here, but it's hardly a sure thing.
Virtually everything with Alzheimers is "delay" not "cure".

Based on the prevalence in my old neighborhood, I don't think
a few cups of coffee are going to stop it :-(
