All,
May I make another suggestion? A bunch of us here in the Silicon Valley
are
fans of old DEC equipment. We get 'em and
restore 'em. Some favor PDPs
(one
guy even has two DEC 10's), some favor the
smaller 11's and others of us
like
old VAXes. At any rate, we meet once a month for
lunch and swap
stories,
tell what stuff we've picked up, etc. All of
us are willing to trade
equipment or donate books and equipment to each other. We studiously
avoid
EBAY.
so who's on the east coast that would like to do this? i'm in philly, and
i
know isildur is in pittsburg. don't know where we would want to meet
though,
since some people would have to travel far for that. thoughts? ideas?

PA would definitely be a plus to me. If its an hour or two drive, i would
have a high chance of getting there, but if its more than that i probably
wouldnt.

what halfway not-shitty town east of you is withing reason? pick something,
let's see if it's an ok place to meet.
close to pittsburg means we might convince Rob S. to stop out as well, but
damn pittsburg is a haul from here.

thats one of the problems.. there reaslly isnt any place in pennsylvania
that makes much sense other than close to you in philly or close to me in
pittsburgh.. though there are more folks on the list east of us than west
i'd think.
as for pittsburgh, it is too far west i think. i'd naturally invite
interested vaxaholics to the (fourth annual, this year :) vax party
sometime in october, but thats not the same thing anyway. philly is more
than 2 hours, but might still be the best place.

Maybe we can get something going up here in New Haven,
CT?
I'm all for something like this. NYC/Boston is my route, so New
Haven is right on it. I've driven as far as Rochester (350?mi) for
such purposes. Washington, DC would be in my range.
Maynard, MA would be a neat choice for historic reasons.

Probably too far west for you East Coasters, but I can get there in a
few hours myself. I could even score a place to crash and make a weekend
out of it.
So... if Pittsbutgh is ever an option, I'll probably be able to show up.

I like the Philadelphia area (I'm in Delaware) -- who was the poster who
mentioned Philly?
