I think that we should take this a little more seriously. I propose that we
form regional SWAT teams. In the event of a classic computer crisis the
nearest SWAT team would be dispatched. Ideally each team would be comprised
of individuals who each had a separate area of expertise, i.e. Apple II,
Coco, TI, etc. Rescued computers could then be placed in foster homes until
caring, loving permanent homes could be found. :-)

Lets just not start setting limits on it tho... While there is value in
having people involved who are familiar with the equipment, keep in mind
that a basic understanding of the gear and some common sense goes a long way.
I would hate to see an older system (like minis) fall by the wayside
because someone thought they were not 'qualified' to
recover/move/disassemble it!

And if we caught anybody throwing anything out we'd jump out of the back
of the van and beat them senseless (and then pick their stuff out of the
trash)
