Which is worse, no basement or a wife ?
It was because of my first wife (now ex) that I sold my 2 full racks of
PDP-8/E equipment.

This is not a bad idea as if one of the piles shift and I get
stuck it would be nice to have someone there to call 911.
You might be joking, but this is no joke, it?s a
*VERY* good idea. Back
when my collection was in storage units, I took a large
vintage TV to the
head. Thankfully I was okay, but it could have been much worse. After
that I started being more cautious.

Good point. I was reminded of this a few months
ago, while I was
working some of my old gear while on my Sabbatical. The good
news, I don?t
have a basement. :-)
