To give folks an idea of how much stuff I had jammed into my (many) storage units, as I
was
going through them trying to figure out what I'd keep and what I would
"dispose" of, I found a
VAX 11/780 that I didn't know that I had. I knew that I had one in storage as I was
digging/sorting
I "discovered" a second 11/780 that I had forgotten was in there.
You *know* you have too much stuff and it's packed too tightly when you can
"lose" a VAX 11/780!
Kersqueeble!
When I moved last year I found an RK05 (drive) that I had forgotten about, but that was
about it. No really
large machines came out of the woodwork.
A tip for anyone moving in the UK. Do as much as you can yourself. I had the misfortune to
use a removal
company who assured me they could move the stuff and would handle it properly. Result : a
heck of a lot
of damage that will take years to put right, parts will have to be made from scratch, etc.
And absolutely no
way to get a penny out of them
