The good news is that most of my best stuff was
either already with me
or I
was able to get out, including my two Lisa
1's, my (straight) PDP-8, and

my
business (not to mention my life's work).
I've gone on to build a new collection out of the old, one that is--like
my
original collection--unrivaled anywhere on the
planet. But this time
I've
erected castle walls around it, surrounded by a
moat filled with
alligators.
