[Me owning Periflexs]
Tony it is of no surprise.. After following numerous
posts i have
gathered you have probably the UK's largest collection of interesting
bits and pieces and could easily trump my feeble collection!! LOL
I am not so sure abotu that. So far I don't own a mainframe or a real
supercomputer (OK, I do have a 370 hardware emulator and a DAP, but
they're minor...)
I tend to be soemthing of a squirrel. If I see something that looks
interesting being given away or at a cheap price I buy it, even if I
have no immediate use for it. I spotted a Umatic reel height gauge in a
charity shop, it came home with me. I didn't have a Umatic machine at the
time, but I thought 'That's going to be useful sometime'. And it was.
I have add-ons for machines I don't yet own simply because I will
probably find them one day.
