that's interesting! I've been watching it since they posted the
catalog several weeks ago and the status did change but then was changed
back.

Subject: Re: DOVE Bid Sperry Univac Mini at auction
was there a biding war or did 1 person only bid?
It wasn't a bidding war as much as a friendly competition. :-) One of
the other bidders has already contacted me to ask if we were the 'other guy' and
confirm that the machine is going to a good home.
Strangely enough, it seems to not be going anywhere. I've received mail from the
current (corporate) owner who claims that the machine is NOT for sale, and was entered
into the auction by error. I'm still chasing down details but it appears the
transaction will be voided.<sigh> Assuming this plays out as it seems it will, my
next task is to try to be certain the machine is in fact going to a new corporate home and
not to a scrapper. -- Ian
