It wouldn't be Art until you made it into a dress, as a commentary on the way technology has shaped our lives. - John This is too much like what actually happened to me. A few years ago I learned that someone had an IMSAI 8080 they wanted to get rid of, in a city 150 miles I was willing to make the trip to go and rescue it. But when I finally got in touch with the owner by phone, they said "I wish you had gotten ahold of us sooner! We just gave it to an artist who wanted to use it for a collage." I can still imagine that front panel plastered in bright-colored goo, along with a bunch of other techno-junk, hanging on some wall in humiliation! --- Mark Metzler VON NEUMANN MACHINES Online Computer History Bookstore/Museum http://home.pacbell.net/mmetzler/vnm.html ______________________________________________________ Get your free web-based email at http://www.xoom.com Birthday?
