I think I'm making progress with my fiancee. I don't know how many times
I've heard "Can't you get rid of some of this stuff?" Recently she got
me
a VAXstation 3100/76 for my birthday off of eBay.
It's the things that we both like to collect that are dangerous. We're
both dog people. I had five dogs when we got together. Now I have ten.
The additional five she found for me. She has six dogs. Now she's been
bitten by the fish bug. I have two aquariums at my place. We're having
another 100 gallon tank delivered Monday. Recently she said that she
spotted a 75 gallon and 55 gallon tank listed in the local paper for a
reasonable price and wants to go and take a look at them. Now if I can
just get her that excited about old computers I'll either be very lucky or
in big trouble.

Georgia's a little far for me to go, but I sure wish MY wife was this
understanding. She had a cow at the mere suggestion of bringing home a VAX
the other day. She is under the impression I have too many old computers as
it is. I say there is no such thing as too many old computers.

Don't
worry. I can put it on ebay. We'll save it. My husband is
looking at another DEC he wants to save. Tell me, he's considering a
WANG
too, are they as good?
