Mr. J.G.5. Maitland December 16, 1981 City of Port Coquitlam Page 2 It is not practical tc expand your existing computer because it is a machine that is no longer being actively marketed by MAI. You could, of course, upgrade it to a newer and larger model from the MAI product range. This option will be available to you anyway when MAI is given the opportunity to Propose on the supply of your new system. The printer on your current computer may be able. to be used with a new computer. This would depend on its compatibility with the new machine chosen. However, you will have a better chance to sell your existing system if it is complete including printer, terminal and disc storage, We do not believe that there is a stro best possibility may be with anot computer for the first time. you should consider the sale of a ftware. At this time, we cannot advise you on what value to place on your computer. Consider that the normally expected useful life of a computer is 60 to 65 months.
