Weekend Trip to Chicago - Haul Report

Well, I travelled to the great city of Chicago this weekend on a hardware retrieval trip...the Windy City, Chi Town. I arrived in Naperville around 12:30 yesterday and immediately began the trek to Indiana to meet Tom Uban, who recently posted that he had some free Sun hardware for pickup. I arrived in his town, about 60 miles away, *3* hours later! The traffic around Chicago is absolutely unbelievable!!! There I picked up: Sun 3/60 Sun 3/110 External hard disk for above with some version of SunOS 9 slot (expandable to 21) VME rack with 5 Sun 3/110 OEM boards Fairly voluminous brand new Sun 2/3/4 documentation Keyboards for Suns Mice, Mouse Pads Ethernet transceivers 19" color monitor (Sony) 2 17" monochrome Sun displays Mac IIsi Apple CD 300 (looking for caddies for this) Some sort of floptical drive for Macs Mac Monitor and got to meet some VERY nice kitties, which I always enjoy. I also got to see his 11/45 and Imlac, which are deeply cool. I also saw the largest piece of core I've ever seen...a CDC unit approximately 18" by 36". It was huge! I then returned to Chicago, tried a different route and ended up on 94 and 290 in Saturday traffic. Another *3* hours back to Naperville. I never did get over to pick up Greg Linder's (posted here a few days ago) AT&T 3b1. Many apologies to Greg! I tried, I kept getting stuck in traffic, my cell phone wouldn't work and I ended up literally falling down on the floor at the place I was staying and falling immediately asleep. I've just moved the haul into the basement and MAN is it cool! BTW, for those who don't know, I've become fed up with Ebay so these items will never be appearing there. =) They're going to live with me forever as I love Suns. A VME rack of Suns is a lovely site to behold. Anthony Clifton Des Moines, Iowa
