I've got 13,000 on RetroBattlestations and I doubt
very many of them know about the cctalk mailing list.
Wow, that is impressive. However, I suppose much of the PeeCee crowd
really does not integrate well with cctalk, and that is fine.

Yep, 13,000 is both impressive and commendable. However, can't compare the two as the
focus really isn't the same at all.
Wasn't "retrobattlestations" where some "person" was happy about
"modding" a HP 21MX into an raspi ntp server?

That's the place, yes.
I think CCtalk is a representative sample of most of the "serious"
collectors, whatever that means.

Would be nice if more of you people with Kewl Machines posted pictures on there!
It's been slow recently, not many posts, and boring stuff.

So I post a picture of my workshop with 13 racks, including half a dozen
SGI Onyx2, a pair of SunFire 6800s, a Cray J98, a Sun E10000, and a bunch
of PDP11s, VAXes, Sun E450s/E4000s/386i, Sun 4/470s, MicroPDPs,
MicroVAXes, oh, and an nCube2... and it's boring?

Ah shuddap JP, you Ncube2 stealing SOB :)
But seriously I posted a BLIT a while back - That crowd just seems to care
more about the Nth C64 or Apple II than the 'real' retro stuff.

Cray J90 series!
Does it run!? I have a J932SE and the OS core dumps on install. The media
I copied was from unknown origin so I'm not sure the version of Unicos I
have should run on it or not. It's been a while, figured I would end up
selling it at some point (it competed with my arcade/pinball hobby.) Might
put it back on eBay it gets a lot of views but no one serious has stepped
up.
I had a full rack O2K, my favorite large computer!
I can't wait for the housing bubble in the USA to explode then it will be
possible to get a place big enough to do something like that!
