Poll (was Re: PDP-8/e and terminals in West Sussex, UK)

I have close to 100 systems, most see little or no use. Of the ones that actually get used at least some each year. PowerMac G5 2x2 -- Primary machine & needs to be upgraded to something better able to handle my digital photography. I *HOPE* to upgrade to a Mac Pro in the next 6 months. Compaq XP1000/667 -- Primary VMS box, offline due to housing situation VAXstation 4000 -- DECnet Router and game box, in storage due to housing situation Pentium III -- OpenBSD box, in storage due to housing situation Core 2 Duo -- Used rarely for WinXP (a couple games I don't have time for), or FreeNAS, in storage due to housing situation SunBlade 1000 -- Used rarely, mostly used to low-level format drives for the XP1000, in storage due to housing situation Mini-ITX system -- used rarely for UNIX stuff, in storage due to housing situation Commodore 64 -- hardware hacking and games, in storage due to housing situation PDP-11/73 -- used rarely, when I need real hardware, really don't have time for it anymore, in storage due to housing situation All told I have close to 100 machines in storage, with no hope of getting to them. This will likely change in the next few months as we're looking to buy a house, and if we do they'll all be moving from storage into the garage (or else donated to the Library). While I collected a lot of 8-bit and some 16-bit stuff in the late 90's my interests quickly shifted to DEC HW and software. This is where my primary interest has remained, and the only thing I actively mess with. My time for messing with stuff has largely dried up though. Once or twice a year I seem to spend at least a couple weeks playing with the Commodore 64. Most of my spare time these days that isn't spent with the family is spent with either photography or vinyl records. Zane
