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
There's a fair number of Canucks on the list but the only one in
Montreal I can recall is Doug Spence <hrothgar(a)total.net>
Haven't seen any posts from him for a while but he should still
have his old collection and possible treasure bin sources. There
was a very good place in St. Laurent that had lots of good stuff but
last I heard they had some hassle with the city licensors. Doug
would know if they are still in business. I'm in Toronto but have kids
and grandchildren there so I occasionally visit.
Yeah, you gotta envy those California guys, if it doesn't all slide
into the Pacific. :^))
