I remember that Sellam and I remember visiting your facility on a trip my wife and I did
to the US. It was very impressive collection and that’s an understatement.
It’s a shame all that was lost ☹ It served to reinforce my approach to this s tuff, grab
first ask questions later otherwise it becomes landfill.
Apologies if this is not appropriate for this list but your landlord was a flog.

Long story very short:
Landlords evicted me from their warehouse where my collection was stored and wouldn't
let me back in. Had to go to court. Regained access and was able to pull out 20% of the
collection before they locked me out again for good. Then sold the rest to computer
recyclers, who proceeded to scatter it to the wind.
