Subject: Re: NY/CT collectors
Poughkeepsie would be good for me too. There's always the Hamfest in Augusta
NJ in July. Last year they had a few Octanes and some Apple IIs. I work the
vendor gate and get to see a lot of stuff before it goes on sale....

I'm in Poughkeepsie, NY, myself, and, like
you,
Hartford is a lot closer than InfoAge for me too.
Wimps! A once-a-year VCF trip might
be enough to convince you, however.
In Silicon Valley, a neat day out might be to go to the Flea Market,
or a supplier store. I know of nothing like that anywhere here
Still, I'm very flexible, I'd go to Poughkeepsie
at least once to see you and William.

New subject: Seattle-area collectors: stuff for sale
I'm about to move, and I don't have room for all my collection in the new
place.
Before I start offering stuff on eBay, I'd like to give local collectors a
shot at some deals. I won't be giving away any primo stuff, but I'll
give you a better deal than you'd get on eBay if you can come and pick-up
from my Bainbridge Island location.
Available machines include:
A DEC trainer from the 1960's (based on straight-8 style flipchips)
An IMSAI 8080 chockfull of cards
An IBM 5100
An ultracool HP 9830A with lots of system manuals and 3rd-party cards
Other cool HP machines, including an Integral, 9825, and I think there's a
9815 in there somewhere.
A couple Apple Lisa 2's in good and complete shape. Worked last time I
checked them about 7 years ago.
A bunch of other stuff. I still need to go through my boxes. Send me
an email if you'd like to browse (probably 200 machines in total, mostly
portables).
