Hi, Joe
Thank you for your quick response.
We are only in the initial planning stage, thus we need to know what
equipment is available. Locating, and subsequently gathering, the collection
is the longest process, so we are starting it first.
Any possible contributors should email me a list of equipment. This list is
forwarded to our Artifact Collection Committee. They decide which pieces
have historical value and thus contact the contributor to determine the
condition of the equipment as well the terms of donation/loan to the museum.
We have a million things to do before the museum even opens. Thus,the museum
building's location and whether it will be constructed or will be an
existing structure is much further down the road.
Do you have other collector's email addresses? or would you prefer to
forward my emails?
Thank you
Sincerely,
Vince Custodio

Hi Vince,
I have several items that I would consider loaning to your museum. Mike
Haas, dogas at bellsouth.net, is a collector in Savanna Ga. He may consider
loaning you some equipment. I think there is another collector in the
Miami area and I think there are a couple in Tampa area but I don't know
them. There's another guy near me the used to collect computers but he's
inactive now. He may loan you some stuff though.
What kind of computers are you looking for?
Any idea when you plan on opening your museum?

Hi,
My name is Vince Custodio. I am an Orlando entrepreneur with an interest
in
old computers and their history. I will be opening
a Computer Museum in
the
Orlando, FL area. This project is in collaboration
with ITT Technical
Institute, Lake Mary, FL.
I saw your posting at:
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~yakowenk/classiccmp/ccrs_list.html.
We are currently seeking computer equipment donations or loans to our
museum. As a donor, you will receive credit in the respective exhibit as
well as having a lifetime membership to the museum. You will also be
invited
to our ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening.
We will not physically need equipment right now but I am compiling a list
of
potential contributors.
Do you have anything that you would consider contributing?
Do you know other collectors in Florida?
If you have any questions and prefer to call me, you may do so at: 321
377-3412 (my company is Pro Detailz so that is how I answer my cell
phone)
Thank you.
