I agree, and here in little old England the houses are very small making
the problem greater. I don't have a garage to put big stuff in and my
recently converted loft is already full.

I would love to
have some classic minis, but I'm having a hard enough time storing (and
moving twice in the past 7 months) my collection of 30-odd micros.
Snap, I love Unix and I would an old PDP to run Unix on, but I don't
have space to keep the PDP kit I already have. My main interests are the
home micros, so recently I have had to make some hard descisions about
passing on the PDP kit I have to other people who can devote more time
to it. (Note: I made this descision a few weeks ago now but still
haven't got around to doing anything about it because I hate the feeling
I get when I think about it, even though I think the things will end up
at a good home.) So if you want some PDP kit and can collect from
Cambridge UK drop me an email.
So...
If anyone is willing to give me free storage space in the Saskatoon area,
I'll drive down to BC and pick up a few of your minis you want to give
away! (And yes, I'll take an IMSAI too.)
Ah storage... if I could only find cheap long term self storage around
Cambridge
