preserve such equipment as those VAXen; we don't need idiots buying
the remaining few, tearing their insides out and then using them as
furniture -- that's even worse than sending the equipment off to a
museum to rot away and never be used again.
I left one Vax cabinet outside for "Piddles" my poodle to use as a dog
house. I have another that I use for bulk spaghetti sauce storage.
