All,
May I make another suggestion? A bunch of us here in the Silicon Valley
are
fans of old DEC equipment. We get 'em and
restore 'em. Some favor PDPs
(one
guy even has two DEC 10's), some favor the
smaller 11's and others of us
like
old VAXes. At any rate, we meet once a month for
lunch and swap
stories,
tell what stuff we've picked up, etc. All of
us are willing to trade
equipment or donate books and equipment to each other. We studiously
avoid
EBAY.
so who's on the east coast that would like to do this? i'm in philly, and
i
know isildur is in pittsburg. don't know where we would want to meet
though,
since some people would have to travel far for that. thoughts? ideas?

I'd be up for it. A flea-market swap-meet kinda thing, right? Maybe
we can get something going up here in New Haven, CT?
