Hmmm... looks like it might be a good idea to carry
some nose and mouth protectors in the field trip toolbox...
rodents are vectors for so many diseases... hantavirus
comes to mind.

The rescue of a very obscure 70s era
mini-computer was accomplished
last
Thursday and Friday. It had been sitting in a
storage shed on a
forsaken
piece of property in Tampa, Florida, for at least
15 years, quite
possibly
20
Nice catch Sellam. Well planned and executed operation.
Looks a bit ratty (sorry, couldn't resist) but I've seen worse looking
stuff still clean up pretty well.
Looks like there's a very good chance it's restorable to functioning
condition.
