LOL, well he meant in quantity, not physical size. But even in quantity,
there are others on this list who have him beat by a LOT.

Hey folks, last night I recieved the message below.
This guy posted
an identical message to Erik's www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum page as
well.
It might be on the up-and-up, but it does make my bullshit-sense tingle.
All I know is that shipping a collection that size across the Atlantic
would cost a fortune.
I have no information about the credibility of the
seller. It's
certainly not the "largest computer collection in the world" but it
should be an interesting discussion. ;)

Subject: LARGEST COMPUTER COLLECTION IN THE WORLD (?) FOR SALE
Hi there,
I am selling my complete collection of computers (over 570 different
ones).
If you are interested in some computer(s) from my
collection, just
mail me at info AT fki DOT be (replace AT by @ and DOT by .) and I'll
add you to the list of possible buyers. I will then mail you back
explaining how I intend to sell the computers.
As you can see from my 100% positive feedback on Ebay (member ChaosDM)
this is not a scam, but a serious sale. I don't want to go through
Ebay directly, because listing 570 different items separately would
take AGES!
Anyway...the list of the collection can be seen here :

http://users.pandora.be/F-242/Computers.htm
There are a LOT of very and ULTRA rare items in there
For example :
A GOLDEN C64 WITH COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE!
A LOT OF ARABIC MSx's
A LOT OF RUSSIAN COMPUTERS
ETC...
