How is Kevin.S lately? I got the impression that
he was one of the older
collectors looking to get out of the hobby, or at least lower the
collection
by an order of magnitude. I bought from him a sys/370-168 control panel.
The guy was definitely into big stuff.
He's pretty much out of the hobby, I believe. I think the stuff I got from
him was pretty much the last. He's pursing other interests, AFAIK.

So people actually do leave the hobby? I know dealers from different hobbies
end up selling out sooner or later but most people never completely lose
their interest in the hobbies (they might not have the funds to continue but
that's different).
