Subject: Re: [DECtec] Free stuff in London (Mostly DEC)
You just have to get it to St. Pancras and on the train - how hard can it be? :-)
Well actually for (Greater) Manchester where I and Bob live the appropriate station is
Euston.
And having once lugged and small IBM Model -011 manual card punch home from the top of
Totenham Court Road in a wheeled suitcase I won't be trying to get a VAX on the
train.
If Bob fancies a trip I don't mind driving but my availability is limited, and my free
space is approaching zero....

What, you can't wrestle it onto the tube?
As I recall, Rob lives near Manchester or other urban center in the North.
Tube's not in it.
