Hello, I know this may be a long shot but I figured I'd try it anyway.
I figure there is a good chance that someone on the list may know an
old friend of mine, Christopher Willis. I met Chris and his wife Pat
(Patricia) on a BBS in southern Ohio. Chris's impressive collection of
computers included an Altair 8800B with a Winchester hard disk, two 8
inch drives, and a Televideo 912c terminal. When Chris joined the navy
(I believe this was 1996, though it may have been earlier.. hmm.. maybe
94?) He left the Altair system with me which went into storage at my
parents house when I left for college, where It still lives (I'm
getting ready to recover it and set it up in my new house soon)
Other computers in his collection ranged from 8080/z80 boards to
various oddball multiuser mini's. At one point (years before I knew
him), I know that he had a collection housed in a warehouse (Many of
which he ended up losing eventually). Among others, this collection
included a UNIVAC. [see why I think someone on the list might know him?]
Over the years, I lost contact with Chris and would love to get ahold
of him and Pat again. If out there could help me track him down it
would be greatly appreciated.
