I'm hoping it's therapeutic, there's things in there that really are
of no interest to anyone I'd have thought, though I know that's
horribly subjective! Hells, most of the 'middling' Macs I'll not
expect any takers for - LCII anyone? IIvx? Quadras? Thought not.
As nobody's asked it yet, is any of this stuff
"important" just because of
where it was used (and/or what might be on some of the disks)? I seem to
remember you've got a few "interesting" things like that in your
collection,
but don't recall if it extends to the DEC stuff.
Nothing of importance like that in the DEC stuff, it's all either
machines I've used at work (uVAXii, VAX3400, 2 of the alpha 3000-400s,
multia, infoserver, VXT2000, DS5000-240 etc), things I've rescued from
what was at the time the 'next stop: bin' corridor at DEC Park in
Reading or things current work were going to throw out.
And no VT220s? What the heck's wrong with you!?
:-P
There's at least one in there but I'm keeping it, also the VT100 and GIGI :)
cheers,
