Hey, let's have a contest. Let's see who can
score the best lot of
classic computers this weekend. We can score each other based on the
type and age of the computers/software/accessories we got, then tally up
the points and whoever has the highest score gets a pat on the back. The
point to such a silly game is that it will promote the preservation of
old computers. It will get us out there finding these lost souls and
keeping them safe for future generations. And believe me, there's
nothing more gratifying then a good weekend out hunting for good old
computers! (Well, there are at least a few things more gratifying :)
Sorry, can't participate this weekend. I'm saving all of my money till
_next_ weekend at the Trenton Computer Festival swap meet. Even then
I'll have to restrain myself a bit or I won't be able to afford to rent
the U-Haul.
