OK, here's my $.02 --
Sign me up for these geographic regions:
1) Northwestern Baltimore (Owings Mills)
2) Western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh/Latrobe)
3) Central NJ (East Brunswick)
I'm currently living in #1, storing most of my TRS-80 / Commodore
collection in #3 (parents), and visit #2 (in-laws) at least once a
month. I'll also seek out Atari 8-bits (I have a 400 in working
condition).
I'm particularly interested in the Radio Shack Line (have 4 Mod 1's
and am working on a vintage Mod 3). I also have a 102, PC-3 and
PC-4.
HOWEVER, like other posters to this list, I have a wife that "simply
doesn't understand the value of old computers" and am currently
living in a townhouse with two young sons (read: ZERO storage space).
As such, I don't think I can comfortably call myself the first line
of defense in most salvage and rescue cases.
Glad to see this project come to life in such short order!

Ok, I have taken the info I got from today, and put it up on the web.
Nothing fancy, and I haven't indexed it yet with any search engines. Take a
look at it and let me know what you think, or if you want to change your
information. The url is:

Hi Isaac, I just took a look at the page and it looks good! I think
this type of page is a first on the Internet and I suspect it will
provide a lot of leads quickly once people start to hear about it.
As far as my info, could you add that my main area of interest is
microcomputers from the 70's with the associated documentation? Thanks!
