Yes, this is exactly they guy and story I was referring to.
Unfortunately, I've never been to NZ (I got the location
slightly wrong) but I'm sure meeting him would result in the
exchange of many great war stories.

There's a story about a guy in Australia that
found an
abandoned IBM 360/30 in a storage/shipper's warehouse and
dragged it to a rented office space that had no elevator. He
carefully dismantled it, dragged the pieces up to at least
the 2nd or 3rd floor, put it back together and got it running!
QUITE a story!

That one? Lawrence is on this list and posts occasionally. He's real:
I've met him. He was kind enough to give me some boxed copies of OS/2.
