DEC at MIT

Just a mention that when it was looking like DEC was gone from the flea markets, This month there was a VT-180 Robin, which I snared, and a Rainbow w/Harddrive and upright stand, which I left ffor the next lucky customer. Also a lot of interesting Mac and Sun, some Atari game machines. Great overall. OT: PC/Pentium400's are at the $10 point now, which I take as a greenlight to toss some of the more boring (yes,PC's) of the like or just less so that I've saved. The next MIT flea is the day after the VCFe, so I may lose out on a few deals to some other lucky collector that month.

There again, perhaps they used pee cees. Whoever the aliens were they should be ashamed - 42 !!!???? Geoff.
