I have been looking at this poor machine for almost two years now and I'm furious that
there is no way for me to rescue it.

Only one other person openly admits they own one: that guy who runs the corestore, and he
never responds to my emails.

Grrrr, if shipping was not so expensive and if I didn't live on the other side of the
country and above the 49th parallel. >:(
It would cost thousands to get that thing back to the safety of the garage and chances are
that there are nothing like that over here in Kamloops BC or close to my relative
location. I really want something bigger and something that just screams "I'm
dimming your lights!". A crimson running off a serial terminal does not seem to cut
it for me.

Big S/36s are not all that rare. Look, and you will find one on the
West Coast. Do not delay, as I can see them mostly drying up in a few
years.

I will admit to having one, but I am not overly proud of it. I think I
can honestly say it is the least liked machine in my collection.

You better not. Californa is to be the first state to sink in to the
ocean, not Florida.

Ben.
PS:You seem often to see little scale models of main frames
in the old ads.I wonder how small a scale you could go
and still have it work in some fashion. The tape drives
could be fun,using reel-to-reel cassete tape.

For the record, I have one too. Once I hacked in an retrieved the master
passwords, I was able to look around. It has an accounting application on it
and a folder full of games. RPG anyone?
