>Amazing collection of NOS pc computers in Dallas.
A nightmarish hoarders warehouse with stuff all over the place.
It would be interesting to go through, but hardhat and gloves a necessity in order to avoid any falling items tumbling from unsafe, awkward stacked shelves and any areas hiding any poisonous spiders, bugs etc.
One of the positive outcomes is someone was able to rebuild a Mindset computer from the various parts and components from that closed store in Texas.
I had a one time opportunity, in 1985, to see a Mindset computer being tried/tested at a local jc. It was set up to run the Mindset version of Time Art's Lumena software paint program product. I have posted before in other forum explaining Time Art's Lumena was one of those 4 figure range price products that was marketed for professional computer graphics arts professional market. The Mindset computer primary market was towards the 'arts' community even though the computer could run some of the business product packages such as spreadsheets (Lotus 123) or Ashton Tate's dBASE database package or accounting packages.
The ideal Mindset computer customer was a business that did any form of arts product for high paying customer advertising markets along with the computer able to run business package products in order to send a service bill to that particular customer. That's it.
Mindset was an extremely very, very niche market that was meant for maybe only two to ten businesses inside N. American market. Even tv show WKRP in Cincinnati salesman 'Herb Tarlek' would have had a hard time marketing Mindset computers back then in mid 1980s.
