Been thinking about it a little recently, and, no, I definitely don't plan
to send my stuff to a scrapper. I have some younger friends with an
interest in retrocomputing. They want my stuff when I'm done with it,
sure. And if they want _just a little_ of my stuff I'll probably strike a
deal like, "you can have the SGI Indy if that box of IDE drives goes with
it, and you aren't allowed to throw it away until you're somewhere I'm not
going to see it by the side of the road."

Adam,
I agree. Give it a new home. Save computing history because when it's gone
it's gone.

Dave,
I might be able to give a home to a large Alpha server. I've got a large
heap of faulty Alphas so I would be particularly interested if it is working.
You might be able to twist my arm on the plotter too if it is not completely
enormous.
While not on the same landmass as you, I am at least on the correct side of
the Atlantic :-)
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
