No ... what a collector
really needs is not to live on the third
floor.:)
Why not?
That leaves TWO floors for mainframes and minis, with micros, terminals
and living quarters on the third.
For a micro collector, and even small minis, a mommy-van is adequate.
Particularly if you were to add a trailer hitch and trailer and a
wheelchair style lift.
I'm a mainframe collector. If I have parts of my collection on the second
floor of the building in which I live, and there isn't an elevator, it
will suck. I have several machines which would crush a minivan.
Forklifts aren't really worth the effort. Give me a truck with a liftgate
and a 20T GVW, and I'll be a happy man.
