Demography?

Well, everybody else has been tossing bio's in here, so what the hell. I'm pushing 43, recently married for the third time (second time kicking around (not sure about the status of some of Lisa's little handhelds that she keeps buying because they're "cute"). I didn't start out planning to collect obsolete computers, but I have this problem about throwing things away. I got involved with the TRS-80 not long after I got out of the USAF in 1978. Wound up working for Tandy from 80-86 is training/tech support at the retail level. Accumulated a few systems during those years. Hooked on Unix from the first (pre)release of Xenix for the Model 16, so these days I'm a sysadmin (AIX usually) presently between contracts. Coco 1/2/3, 4p, Mod 2, 6000HD, Mod 100 (3)+DVI, 1000TL/2 are what I have now -- have owned two Mod Ones, two Mod 16s and a Tandy 2000 in the past, but as Ben Franklin said, three moves equals one fire and I've moved more than three times. Have three AT&T Unix PCs, two work and the other is parts. A Sun 4/360 with Solaris 2.4 that I'm trying to get Linux working on. Atari 68k boxes, a 520 ST and a 1040 ST. Several TI 99/4A machines, one still shrink-wrapped -- my wife credits a cassette-based algebra tutorial for that machine with getting her through the math requirement so she could get her nursing degree. Miscellaneous Intel boxen that I mostly run Linux on, though there are a couple that are mostly lab rats for whatever I feel like doing to them OS-wise. Who knows what I'll come back from the TCF with this year? I've without doubt left a few off this list, as they aren't all where I can see them from here. -- Ward Griffiths Dylan: How many years must some people exist, before they're allowed to be free?
