You ever need help for a DEC related rescue, let me know. I'm just north of
Buffalo. Big stuff would probably be tough going back to the US though.
If you run across anything that you don't have room for or don't need, I'm
game.
I'll be headed over soon for a day on Queen St. Couple of nice electronic
surplus shops there then over to "The Stem" for a hi-test greaseburger if it
hasn't been shut down yet.

Yeah, I'm not much of a hocky fan, but check out

Lot's o' stuff there. Maybe they're serving the site from an old VAX
(cheap tie-in, I know...).
You guys are drowning in cars.
It's not too bad (if you want to commute at 3am or so). I was working
in downtown (King W.) and out in Mississauga, and you were pretty much
screwed whether you took the 401 or the Gardiner.
For classiccmp tie-in, the data centre we took over was the old National
Trust at 55 City Centre, across from Square One mall. I found some old
DEC term servers in there, and rescued two. There were also what
appeared to be hubs of some form, where each port was a full sized card
(looked like VME, but quite sure it wasn't). I couldn't save them, as
the entire enclosure made my PDP-11 look small.
