Well, seeming as though nobody could talk me out of
it, I guess I'll be driving out there this weekend to
pick it up <grin>. She says that there are a couple of
disk packs with it. From the picture it kinda looks

to bring this across the border? I've never picked up
a computer from Canada. Is customs going to raise a
stink about a 25 year old minicomputer?

definitely an interesting beast. I
have no experiance with Burroughs machines, but

I'm really tempted.
I would be a good thing to save. I think RSC/RI has

(W.D. would know for sure)
Also, no software has been archived for this
machine, so any
surviving copies would be a good thing.
