The shipping aspect is interesting though - I'd
assumed they were at
least in the UK but the email gave no indication of whereabouts except
for the phone number being rather odd for this country.
I immediately recognized the number as being in the US with a Florida area
code.
I'm surprised anyone would be prepared to ship
such a machine across the
pond to us at their expense (particularly as presumably it'd need
modification to the PSU to work here, would likely have a different
keyboard layout etc.)
They probably didn't realize they were sending the message to a museum
in the UK. A lot of times people just find all the computer museums (real
or otherwise) they can find on the web and send out a blanket offer.
