I've occasionally come across some other collectors here in Ottawa but old
stuff is very scarce for any of us in Canada. Feel free to email your want
list just in case. Perhaps it will inspire the rest of us to do the same.
Swapping stuff locally sure beats fighting Canadian Customs and the lousy
US$ exchange rate.

Subject: Who collects (reads the mailing list...?) vintage computers
in Quebec, Canada?
Hi
Sometimes I think I may be the only vintage computer collector in
Quebec, Canada.
I would like to hear if anybody else does any collecting around here
(Montreal area)
I have yet to find anybody to trade or talk collecting face-to-face
anywhere around here even if I have posted on several montreal
newsgroups that I am looking to buy/trade this kinda stuff...
When I mention I collect vintage computers, people look at me like I am
due for a trip in the "wacko wagon"...
Computers are tough to find here (not like california...) I have managed
to accumulate/fix/restore approx 50 micros (all working) from the
197x-198x early 1990's...lotta books, software and peripherals...
Those who feel sad for me can send me their Lisa's, TRS model IIIs and
Next boxes ;->
...things I will probably never find around here and I refuse to
purchase them on ebay for a zillion bucks...
Thanks for reading
Claude
