Subject: RE: Really old IBM gear
Yes, the comment was tongue-in-cheek. In fact, when there's something I find
that's out of our scope I do my best to make sure that others who might really be
interested get to know about it. Priority goes first to those I know are committed to
restoring and preserving machines in running condition, secondly to safe places for them
to be until they someday get conveyed to someone who will restore them.
I've been known to put considerable legwork into finding homes for interesting things
we just can't take. FWIW -- Ian
Yes, if I knew of a 1052 I wouldn't tell you
about it until it was safe
here on our loading dock. :-)
Well that's not very nice. ;) If no one helped eachother out, no one would be
able to find anything! :-) I'd pass a lead on to you for something that wasn't
on my list or within my budget... But I get what you're saying. 'Hobbying' for this equipment is
challenging given the power, HVAC and
floor loading requirements. IMHO -- Ian
Very true.
