Sadly,
I've heard about many things that were posted up for adoption on
the list here that ended up junked/dumped simply because no one claimed
them. Not to offend anyone, but it seems like if something doesn't have
the letters 'DEC' printed on it somewhere, there are far fewer list
subscribers interested in it.
Well, I have yet to give away my DEC Pro-350, DEC VT-180 and DECWriter
IV. No one seems to want to pick them up in Manchester, NH.
I guess location can also play a major role. The IBM display writer that
went up for adoption last week for example, I'd love to have. The real
issue there is that it isn't economical to ship. (I have more or less two
textpak sets, the dual drive unit, and possibly a broken printer for one
of those.)
