New subscriber found TI Explorer, Rainbow 100, and Pro380

I'm a new guy on this list from Kansas City. My biggest problem is my house doesn't have a basement or a garage, I keep my computer toys in the rec room under the Ping-Pong table. When the garage is built I'll have a computer spot for more stuff. I've been lurking in this group for awhile. I'm from the cardpunching/papertape reading generation of PDP8 and PDP11 types. Pre RSX-11M and RT-11. I wander into a not-for-profit computer surplus place every week. Recently I investigated the salvage room in the basement, they have lots of non PC and non Mac stuff there. Here is what I found I'm looking for more information about them. TI Explorer VME tower style machine external case dual full height 5 1/4 hard drives external case tape backup unit Might be a LISP machine TI doesn't seem to have and information about this machine on their web site. I found Usenet group ti.explorer with not much traffic. Rainbow 100 special DEC floppy DEC Pro 380 special DEC floppy and ST251 hard drive DEC PDP micro 11/23 in tower case Maybe I'll crosspost to alt.computers.pdp11. Glad to be aboard! mmcfadden(a)cmh.edu Real computer can run for months without crashing, all other kinds are only wannabe's.
