My friend keeps saying "Cheer up man it could be worse, you could be stuck underground in a hole full of water".
I know he means well...

Can't laugh about that right now. A year ago I got to drive my car home for the holidays. I could not drive since then, because my vision got worse and worse over the holidays. Just two eye operations and eleven injections in each eye later, I could order a new set of glasses today. Next week I can just pretend 2020 did not happen and begin where I left off a year ago.

This one happened to have come from a CP email-offer. I clicked the link in my email and went to a page to download their ebook document. One had to fill in some info (name, email, who I work for, etc) and click a download button.
First, however, one had to check a box that one agrees to their privacy terms and conditions.
Absolutely no link on the page to see those conditions. In fact, nothing else on the page except the fill-ins, checkbox, and download button.
So I closed the page. With no other links on the page, this is well past and oversight (as I see it, pun intended). It's a bit of a sleeze factor. Alternatively, showing a lack of competence in terms of QC.

It's how CP makes it's money so I don't want to discourage them - I'll just ignore them.

Of course, there's the concept of "prove it" and while they may have attorneys on retainer I'd be paying cash.
Meanwhile - once my information's dispersed it's a bit too late.

He's just being helpful. He knows that some of us need an email to use when we don't want to give out our own information.

Then I suppose your inbox is the test environment for the spam filters before you go live, isn't it?

I found something on FleaBay. Something from around 1977. For the time it was impressively compact, yet still has graphics and bus slots for expansion. Just looknat the Altair, which is just a year older. And a hex keyboard to enter your programs. The first expansions I would suggest are Two cheap ICs (an OpAmp to connect a tape recorder as storage for your programs and a level shifter for RS232 to connect to a terminal) and a ROM for the drivers. Maybe also a tiny RAM expansion while you are at it.
This is a very early version, probably even the very first. It's just one step beyond the original DIY wire wrap version. The processor still has the original ceramic package (but not the graphics chip). If both were in white ceramic packages, the price might even be justified. White ceramic packages were reserved for RCA's preproduction series. However, it's the closest you can ever get to own a computer from the time when you could not yet buy them in stores and also not completely homegrown. I doubt that there are 1000 of them left in the entire world that still work. One of them would be mine and you would only get it over my undead body. 
Look here![^]
Edit: Looking at the picture of the back side, I must say that the soldering looks amateurish. I would redo it completely. And that gash at the processor socket looks nasty.
