I get the same feeling here in Ottawa.
We have a classic computer SIG on the local freenet now so
things are looking a little better.
I'm still trying to find a source for a monitor for my
VAXstation II/GPX
And I'm arranging a local project to restore not so old
machines and get them back into use.

Subject: Who collects (reads the mailing list...?) vintage
computers in Quebec, Canada?
Hi
Sometimes I think I may be the only vintage computer
collector in
Quebec, Canada.
I would like to hear if anybody else does any collecting
around here
(Montreal area)
I have yet to find anybody to trade or talk collecting
face-to-face
anywhere around here even if I have posted on several
montreal
newsgroups that I am looking to buy/trade this kinda
stuff...
When I mention I collect vintage computers, people look at
me like I am
due for a trip in the "wacko wagon"...
Computers are tough to find here (not like california...)
I have managed
to accumulate/fix/restore approx 50 micros (all
working)
from the
197x-198x early 1990's...lotta books, software and
peripherals...
Those who feel sad for me can send me their Lisa's, TRS
model IIIs and
Next boxes ;->
...things I will probably never find around here and I
refuse to
purchase them on ebay for a zillion bucks...
Thanks for reading
Claude
