> A wide ask here so please boost: my grandfather is trying to get rid of
an old business computer, and I was wondering whether any vintage computer
people might want it. It was purchased for $50k from The Ultimate
Corporation in the early 80s. This ran the Pick operating system, and my
best guess is the hardware was originally manufactured by GE or Honeywell.
It's about the size of a half-rack and currently lives in Brandon,
Manitoba, Canada. It has sat covered in plastic in a chemical warehouse for
the past 35 years. Where do people usually post stuff like this other than
here? Thanks!
