Please ponder this question.
We either collect mainframes, minicomputers, or microcomputers. In the mix
there is hardware, software, documentation, spares, and related material
such as magazines, books, novelties. There might also be the original
boxes.
What percentage of your space is taken up by the hardware and how much
by everything else? What is the ratio of actual computers to all the other
stuff that goes along with them? Please tell me the catagory(s) of computer(s)
you collect (mainframe, etc.), and what your percentages are.
I am working on an article and also on the 2nd edition of A Guide, so your
estimates would be very helpful.
Thank you very much.
