I agree completely. I would be willing to go pick up stuff headed for the

room for a small select few computers, but I could make room in storage
until shipping could be arranged. We ought to make this like a Mr. (or Ms.)
Rescue for classics. When the list is started, put me down for the Austin,
TX area.

Mayhaps, as a parallel to the 'Classic
Computer Index", we need to develop
a 'Classic Computer Collectors Index' so that we know where others are
when things like this pop up so that we could have some local options.
Even if a person did not want the particular item, they might be able to
pick it up while arrangements were made to get it to someone who did want
it.
Or am I just dreaming out loud?
Not at all. This is a terrific idea! I nominate Bill Whitson to
formulate this list :)
