As promised, I've managed to take a few photos of the new "baby". So
far, I've only removed the plastic wrapping that the shippers put on
the box. It's still strapped down to the shipping base.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to do much with it for a few days, but
I'm hoping to get the front panels off so I can check out the boards.
I tried removing one last night, and they are very well attached. If
anyone has suggestions for easy ways to remove these, I'd love to hear
them.
In any case, you can see photos of the machine in my garage at

I will... actually, I think I'm going to have to make a special trip
to the jewelry store for her. They just delivered the machine and she
called me, saying "Oh my God, another computer!" (I recently picked up
a Symbolics as well). She doesn't understand WHY these machines make
me happy, but in reality, she likes me to be happy.
Of course, I'm not at home so I can't comment on the packing, but I
know they re-palleted the machine before delivering it. Time will
tell as to the condition. Now I just need the boot tapes to arrive...
I just hope they locked the drive heads before it was originally
picked up from the starting location (which I had no control over).

An update...
As I write this, my girlfriend is at home waiting for the delivery
truck to show up with the Eclipse... I'm sure she'll call me when it
arrives and sees how big it is. *grin*
In any case, it's going in the garage for now... when I get back
from vacation, I'll be able to get started on making it work.
Photos to follow...
Better have your girl friend sit shotgun until you get back from you
vacation
the subject line is "DG Eclipse available ..." :) I'd check the
packing anyhow
before you leave just to confurm it got there safely.
