New acquisitions: Suns, room

I just acquired my first two Sun workstations. One is a 3/50, which came phone :-) :-) ), and the other is a 3/60, which came from elsewhere. A few monitors, keyboards, and drives made it in there somewhere, also. I still have a Sparcserver 490 in my, um, "storage facility" (read: parents' garage) that was a stowaway from a trip earlier this year. The Sun collection has started. Another list member graciously donated two RX01 units, which will eventually make their way into some sort of PDP-11. So far, I'm met 4 list members IRL. I hope to see more of you soon. The biggest news is that I'm getting some more room. A LOT more room. Of course, another way of looking at it is that my wife has decided she's a lesbian, wants a divorce, and is moving in with her new girlfriend. Either way you see it, I'm going to be making some changes around my house. First, all of the traditional living space and sleeping space will be compressed into one room. The bathroom, kitchen, and utility room will retain their functions. The rest of the house will become my retrocomputing playpen. The detached garage, now devoid of her car, will make a great storage area for stuff I'm not actively playing with. I don't have a large house, but all in all, I estimate I'm getting about 500 to 750 additional square feet to do stuff in. -- Jeffrey S. Sharp jss(a)subatomix.com
