A guy contacted me back on the 10th offering me a
complete line of Vector
Graphic Computers. Hardware, manuals (tech & user), and sales literature for
all of it, free for pickup. Asked him the same day when and were could I
pick it all up and today I get my answer back saying it's all gone to a
startup computer museum at the UT-Arlington campus. Talk about bad luck and
everyone here in Texas wanting to start a computer museum.
Why is that bad luck? I see it as positive that more oragnizations are
popping up to preserve this stuff. One organization should not have
everything anyway. What if that organization has financial problems or,
worse, goes under?
We've seen this in the past, and it is not pretty.
