I also talked
to a guy that deals with old computers. Two weeks ago, he
_finally_ scrapped out a bunch of old machines - really old. Amongst the
deaths were various PDP-8s, two PDP-9s, a Burroughs mainframe, and an IBM
7090 of some sort.
*How* do we reach these people *before* things like this happen?!? (preferably without starting a mad rush from yuppie
collector wannabes!)
They will never go for the big stuff. Except for funrniture and cars, big
things rarely get popular in the collecting (an subsequent investment)
scenes.
In any case, I am going to stay on top of this guy, even though he now
deals with PC scrap.
