Classic Computer Rescue Squad - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

You're right, also, they can make great places to keep things... convert a
black case into a storage area for you're CDS, empty out a power supply to
make an industrial-style case.  Also, what are "popular" micros; I need to
start getting collecting, but I'm not sure what to start with.  By the way,
that warehouse that was full of classics... what ever happened?  When I say
"popular"; I mean what are good, not something that's worth money.  (No
5,000 pound Nova's, please)

  laser swears that there's no disk in.  They
don't make 'em like they used

Why break a new PC?  They can be used as terminals for the *REAL*
computers!
