No way! ;-) I can barely stand to run my old Atari 800XL, much less the OSI C1P I used to use... I cut my computing teeth on OSI Equipment. I *think* a few of the customers I used to do work for *still* use the system's to this day. I spent time on the C2's and C3's running OS-65U. For awhile my partner and I had the only source to Level 3 (time sharing) (dissasembled it... )( time sharing ). For it's day it was a decent system. >In this day and age is there >a good use (be kind) for this old hardware.

It might make a reasonable home control system... But then again, when something breaks down, there'll be no way to fix it unless you do such things yourself. :-( OSI did offer did offer an X-10 hardware/software combo in the early days.
