VAX-11/751 available

The post is noted. Perhaps it would be a good time for me to once again talk about how it is in everyone's best interest to keep the vintage computer dealers and scrappers happy. Although it has not arisen in quite some time on this list, there is a significant portion of collectors here that degrade dealers and scrappers as lower class citizens - greedy soulless scums that are clearly motivated by money and nothing else, and are open game for lowball offers, tire-kicking, chiseling, insults, smears, and other abuse. While some may indeed deserve such treatment, most are fairly decent intelligent people, and deserve a little respect. Treated correctly, these people can be great sources of truly wonderful machines. Treated incorrectly, however, they can be very spiteful, and return the ill will in ways that range from ignoring pleas to complete scrapping of the hardware. Remember, while we view the machines as rare VAX minis, Fujitsu tapedrives, or 3270 terminals, they can view it as just a bunch of metal, with any monetary loss in the present just made up for in the future, with a smile. I have posted about this before - interested students can search the archives for earlier talks on the subject. -- Will
