All,
an humble suggestion:
1) Use cheap pine with a nice stain to make some "temporary" panels
2) plant a rosewood tree
3) maintain the machine for ~100 years
4) cut down your rosewood tree, make "real" panels out of it, and
sell the excess rosewood to pay for electricity to run the machine.
5) meantime and most important, get back to classic-computer
discussions on this list
PS:
Philip H., you are absolutely positively the man! I thought
nothing could change the currently sagging signal/noise ratio on the
list and my heart sank when I saw the 87k archive ... but then!

Now *that* is the kind of post we need more of! Right on!
