Australian COMPUTER MUSEUM -- Dispersal Days -- Villawood NSW.
We have been told that BULLDOZERS will demolish our Villawood storage space in 2 weeks.
We have yet to find a suitable/affordable alternate space so ... "OPEN DOOR
DAYS"
The old fruit shop at 888 Woodville Road, VILLAWWOOD, will be open for anyone
who cares to come and take anything away and help preserve our computing heritage.
Hours: Sat 28th/Sun29th 9am to 9pm, then Monday-Friday 10am to 10pm, repeat the next
week.
Off-street parking, easiest access is from south (Hume Hwy), see Google Maps.
Bring your Car, Van or Ute and enough muscle to help empty our shed.
Please tell your friends and/or work colleagues.

How much notice were you given of this happening?
Rescues with weeks or days notice are a drag.

Oh boy, what items are they letting go?

The Villawood location seems to be distinct from the warehouses that the
ACMS maintains?

Presumably they couldn't help out, even though Homebush is only a suburb
away.

May I point out that this *IS* the ACMS, according to Mr. Geremin's signature
in the original post?
