ebay - Minivac 601, 1st pers. digital computer 1960s

   Interesting
item on ebay.  I hadn't heard of it but it looks like it is an
 interesting part of early computer history! The URL is: Your ebay advertising
service is great for ebay, and great for sellers,
but please consider what you do to the poor bidders who already know about
this stuff and have plans to bid on it. 
I dunno - I kind of like looking at pictures/descriptions of interesting
items, and folks posting Ebay URL's often (maybe even usually) do a
decent job of finding the "interesting" stuff.

Of course, I also realize that there's no local shortage of interesting
computer hardware free for the hauling, and am damn unlikely to bid 
on anything :-).

I didn't think computer-collecting was such a competitive hobby, but some
others evidently feel differently.  I see way too many late 60's/
70's minis and micros going through the scrap metal recyclers to think
that there's any shortage of historical stuff to keep me busy.

Tim.
