Hi
I've looked at your site but I'm a little confused. How does
one use the Museum page? Also, how does one find information on
a computer that one is looking for? What is a WIKI?
On your page, you mention that one should be willing to pick up
any machine that is offered. While this is a nice thought,
I couldn't even justify the price of gas to pick up a
no name 286 PC. I don't know anyone that would pay shipping on
such a machine. I would cost me extra to bring it to the
land fill transfer station that I go to because these are
considered hazardous waste. Under these conditions, I don't
think I could consider myself a curator for your page although
I would otherwise love to post my collection.

I don't know how to start a Wiki, but perhaps
it would be a good thing
for all of us. I would provide a "memory location" where we could all
add what each knows about each kind of computer.
I already have something just like this;
