You know, I offered both a Vax 11/780 and a 11/34a to the list about
five years ago. They were just being decommissioned and were also just
off a DEC support and maint. contract. There were enough spare parts to
build a second and most of a third 11/34a. No one wanted to come to
Dallas and pickup and I neither had storage room or desire to collect
DEC stuff, so both were dumpstered. I still don't care for big
machines, but if I run across any, I'll still offer them to anyone who
wants them.

Even given that this was done before you knew any better, thus the
offense is somewhat forgivable, I still think you're a brave man to
admit such a thing on this list.
