DEC swap meet?(RE: Off Topic? PDP 11 1134/1145's) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

3 Apr 2002

I'd be interested on an occasional basis... I live in Virginia, but I
grew up (and most of my family lives in) New Haven, so it would be simply
another visit home for me.

 	I'd be up for it. A flea-market swap-meet kinda thing,   right? Maybe
  we can get something going up here in New Haven,
CT?  
 I am in as well..  Problem is I live in between Isildur and 
 Brian so PA is
 looking better and better :-)
