	I bought a 128 in Feb of 1984, when they first came out.
When I sold it a couple of months ago it had 128K ROMS, SCSI port,
and 2 Meg of memory, and ran great.  I'd had to replace the power
supply twice but other than that never had any problems with it.
All-in-all, I'd say they have a long and productive life ahead of
them if you get the 128K ROM upgrade.  Even more so if you get one
of the multitudinous 2 Meg memory upgrades and SCSI ports (I got
Levco's)
