   I'm mainly doing it for nostalgic and hobby purposes. I'm probably not   
   gonna be able to network the Model I so I'll just get a printer for it   
   and run it that way. The Model 4 does have a serial port on it. I grew   
   up with these machines and while my original Model I is long gone, I've   
   managed to get a hold of these two machines. I've got lots of software   
   for them, and would like to see them used again. Thanks to everyone for   
   your input.
