Rumor has it that Glenatacme(a)aol.com may have mentioned these words:

It looks ablout 3.5 feet tall, and the specs put it at
180+ kilograms. How
can it weigh that much? What's in it, lead? (yes, I know solder has lead
in
it , , ,)
How much does the tape unit weigh? Another 180 kilos??
It's not the computer storage space you have to worry about -- You need the
*forklift* storage space (to move the computer around)!
What is the total power consumption for the 11/750 and
the tape unit?
Am I crazy for wanting to rescue this critter, since I don't know the first
thing about it? I'll probably break my back moving it and spend the next 10
years learning how to use it and collecting disability benefits at the same
time.
Isn't that the *perfect* situation? Get *paid* to monkey with classic
machines all day???? ;-) So what if your back's all munged up? So what if
you're in constant pain? [in the US] If you're on disability, you've got
Medicare, so the Dr. bills are paid!!! :-)
Mebbe *I'll* rescue that thing! <g>

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
