I used to have one years ago, and would like to get one again. Problem is that there is hardly any info on these and I have never seen one for sale. Anybody here ever use one of these cool computers? Maybe you have one for sale? Let me know.

I've had my Canon Cat since the mid-1980s when, as a Marketing Director for Dataquest in San Jose, I used to go over to Jef Raskin's operation and provide input and/or do site testing for the fledgling Cats. In return, I was given one. I haven't checked my serial number, but can do so if you are interested.

Nope. Don't remember that. I do remember Canon Camera Kat though...:)

Maybe the museum would know where to find one?

Just out of curiosity...Why would you want one?

I used to have one, plus I like vintage computers and calculators. Let me know if anyone wants to sell me one.
