It's never been opened. Ever. It hasn't seen the light of day since before it was shipped on May 5th, 1988.
I wrestled with whether I should open the box, or store it and let it accrue collector's value. In the end, I decided that the reason for my purchase wasn't financial. My very first computer was an Apple //c, and I can't see wanting to part with this computer, ever.

So, I have a really irritating problem. My monitor (any monitor) keeps cutting out on my XP box. When I turn it on, I canwatch the BIOS do its thing, then the XP initial loading screen with the cylon eye comes up, but then the monitor shuts off, like it's not getting a signal. I can hear the fan and the hard drive working, and the lights on the Ethernet card are on, but as far as the monitor is concerned, the computer is off.
Any ideas?
