I have a basement but I also have a wife who complains everytime I bring
some orphaned computer part (or camera) home and to the basement.? In
her eyes it's all junk.
Which is worse, no basement or a wife ?
It was because of my first wife (now ex) that I sold my 2 full racks of
PDP-8/E equipment.

Went over to chip away at the Bob basement, and this time Alex came with me. This is not
a bad idea as if one of the piles shift and I get stuck it would be nice to have someone
there to call 911.
You might be joking, but this is no joke, it?s a *VERY* good
idea. Back when my collection was in storage units, I took a large vintage TV to the
head. Thankfully I was okay, but it could have been much worse. After that I started
being more cautious.
Moral: Do not die with a lot of this stuff in
your basement. We were far more able to move this stuff 30 years ago when we were young
than today.
Good point. I was reminded of this a few months ago, while I was
working some of my old gear while on my Sabbatical. The good news, I don?t have a
basement. :-)
