Even when you find what you want, it can be difficult
to get the computers
shipped. I have some computers in New Jersey that I want, does anyone happen
to know of a good company that would handle packanging and shipping the
computers to Minneapolis? Is it best to have some freight company
ship them on pallet? I'm concerned about protecting the front panel
switches on a pair of DEC CPU's.
Though I dont see whats 'wrong' with buying the computers you want. since
The "wrong" is when it makes the hobby less "fun". A fair part of
what
makes it "fun" for me is to bargain hunt, and unrelated to cost is that its
LOTS of fun to open stuff up and see whats inside. Just ordering something
ruins both of those fun parts for me. YMMV
There are two kinds of shipping, one that messes up your stuff, and one
thats real expensive and still may mess up your stuff. Road trip is my
preference.
