New York! ewwww.... I am from Ingersoll, a little

I now live in the suburbs of Boston and am very happy that I do *not* commute
into Boston! But New York... I went there once..
Smelly from all the garbage and then you try to drive there. HA!
Well, I'm not in the shitty (city, close enough). I live in Peekskill.
It's a bit of a rough town, but not *too* bad. I'm an hour out on the
Metro North, and I work in Croton-on-Hudson, which is only a 5 minute
drive away.
The thing that interests me about Manhattan is the amount of old
computer gear that one can find. I worked on W. 26th, and there was a
"consultant" shop right down the street. I'd always find old 486s and
Pentiums waiting for the garbage. I never got a chance to drop in and
ask if they had any old IBM gear (RS/6000s or AS/400s). I'd have had a
hell of a time bringing them back on the train. :)
