15 years of packratting a 2 car garage and a 10x35 storage unit full of
old computer stuff will be seriously trimmed over the next three weeks
to make room for a worse hobby, 2 old Porsche 928's.
I have commercial shelving in both garage and storage, some going up 10
feet or so, this is not a few boxes, its a few truck loads. Some stuff
is headed for a dumpster, cases of new old stock software still in the
bulky boxes, and not anything too exciting in the first place. Some
stuff will get condensed, out goes the bulky box, floppy and docs into a
single mass box. Middle aged PCs, compaq 486's I saved to play with
linux on, by the dozen. NOS Apple and mac repair parts, cables, stacks
of middle aged macs like 610, half a dozen LW II's.
I'm not just walking into the forest with a candle, nice, to me at least
stuff that doesn't take up much space I will find room for, but that
won't include a complete commodore system currently filling a good sized
box. I have two NOS specialty monitors, weird connections, a Sigma
LabView I think, I forget the other, but I will update once I dig in a
bit, and put some picts up on my website.
Email me, I am 40,000 messages behind, not joking, reading this list.
VERY little will be shipped, exceptions for good causes and old
commitments, like the DEC terminal promised to someone on this list.
Sooner much better than later, in 7 days I have to have 10 feet clear to
replace the tilt up garage door with an essential roll up. First whack
is going to be moving good stuff, and tossing junk like the old
software, but 6 month goal is cut to the bone and get rid of 10x35
storage unit's monthly cost.
I am not dropping the old computer hobby, but I have 20 boxes of Apple
13" monitor NOS service replacement deflection boards, 20 weird
AppleTalk network routers, and not enough room to play with it, just
store it.
Email me, visit lovely Orange county, take home booty.
