general, I would like the world to know that I define 'home computer' as
any machine that you can:
* Comfortably fit through your door...
Fine there. But in this old Victorian, the tight stairs to the attic and
the basement can be a _bitch_, especially when moving from on to tother.
* Doesn't test the load limits of your target
floor...
Well, that's why the bigger boxes are in the basement.
* Power and run without tripping your main breaker...
Does bribing the town electrical inspector count? (This _is_ New Jersey).
* (most importantly) Have fun restoring and working
with... in your home!
The key factor.
