Grant,

Sorry, don't have a working microbee, but if you ask the Powerhouse Museum in 
Sydney, they have one on display there (don't know if it works though). Saw it 
on the long weekend along with an Apple 1, Commodore Pet and a Sinclair ZX80. 
They had a TRS-80 running, but with a Mac keyboard, so I suspect it was an 
emulator running on a Mac.  Made me think I should pull out my System-80 and 
check to see if it is working still.  They had a book there on display (in a 
glass cabinet) which I pointed out to my kids.  When we came back home, pulled 
the same book off my library shelf and showed it to them. Floored 'em both. 
Makes you feel really old when you actually own something that you bought new 
that is now on display in a museum....
