I'm seeing posts here about systems to be rescued,
but often no replies.
The classic computer rescue squad pages have no listings later than 2005.
This is a high-bandwidth list that people interested in old systems
can't neccessarily keep up with.
Could we get a seperate list going just for rescue listings,
and have either cctech or cctalk as a subscriber? That way,
folks interested only in seeing systems listings could see them
and maybe rescue systems.
Thoughts?

I think the idea is a good one.
Having said that, I think that most of the problem is that for many of these
systems, those who are close enough to rescue them either don't have the
room or the interest. Those who aren't close and do have interest don't
have the financial means necessary or any way to arrange shipping. Plus
more often than not, people trying to get rid of stuff aren't willing to
take the time to ship.
