Hi all,
We in MARCH decided to sell off our minicomputers and refocus on newer
PC/WinTel history.
Here are some starting prices:
- Straight-8 - $10,000
- PDP-11/20 - $5,000
- IBM System/3 - $3,000
- IBM System/38 - $2,500
As for our Univac 1219, we just plan to scrap it.
Happy April 1. :)

Ahhhhhhh!
Happy April 1. :)
I nearly replied seriously......!
Currently many people are really selling off their collections. Perhaps due to the
economic
situation. So only the part on scrapping the Univac sounded like April 1st...!
BTW I'm currently really selling on eBay:

I admit to being taken in by the Bendix G-15 April Fool's joke on the list a
few years ago, .. but the Univac scrapping this time was just too suspicious.

Philipp, considering how many people tried to figure out just what machine was in the
background of the recent Onion spoof, I don't think you should feel bad. :-)
Geeks are us -- Ian
