Subject: How to thin a collection...
I'm wondering how many here have put any real effort or thought into
thinning out thier collection, and the question of spares.
Last night I started. So far I've been trying to identify dead equipment,
and have gotten as far as testing some terminals, and a couple compact
Mac's
(I've identified a dead Mac Colour Classic).
One of the questions that comes to mind is this. How many spares is too
many?
Also is anyone in the Portland, Oregon area interested in junk I'll be
dumping? Local pickup only. I don't know if someone might be interested
in
things like the dead Mac Colour Classic for parts.
I do have a list of a few items I'll be keeping an eye out for that have
been promised to a couple list members.

I tend to keep spare machines based on how easy and expensive it is to get
another when needed, and how much I like the system. Pretty much everything
I have is working and tested except for a few laptops I keep for parts only.
What's wrong with the color classic?
