Lets just not start setting limits on it tho... While there is value in
having people involved who are familiar with the equipment, keep in mind
that a basic understanding of the gear and some common sense goes a long way.
I would hate to see an older system (like minis) fall by the wayside
because someone thought they were not 'qualified' to
recover/move/disassemble it!

I think that we should take this a little more seriously. I propose that we
form regional SWAT teams. In the event of a classic computer crisis the
nearest SWAT team would be dispatched. Ideally each team would be comprised
of individuals who each had a separate area of expertise, i.e. Apple II,
Coco, TI, etc. Rescued computers could then be placed in foster homes until
caring, loving permanent homes could be found. :-)
