Things may change. There are some talks going on with IBM high level managers -current ceo
involved- to create an hobbyist program (at least for old boxes).. found out by chance on
usenet.
Cross fingers...

I'm located in Melbourne also and would be
interested in these systems.
I've sent an email to the address listed on the HP Museum website
already, I thought I'd let you know as a courtesy.
Thanks very much for the notice - Evan
I think there are about 4 or 5 die-hard AS/400s fans in Australia, at least based on bids
against AS/400s on eBay and a few chance encounters.
AS/400s on eBay seems to have dried up in the last 12-months, for a while we were seeing a
couple every few months, but none for a long time now.
They're one of the least hobbyist-friendly machines you can find so perhaps not that
surprising they're in so few collectors' hands.
