Hi all.. First post to the list (been lurking for a month or so :-) On Tue, 5 Feb 2002, Sellam Ismail wrote: Hmm. I don't have a speciality yet 'cos I don't really have enough equipment to constitute one, but if I ever accumulate enough it will be Unix workstations and servers. My main interest is in well designed kit that I can use to serve a purpose - my home web server/DNS/MTA etc. is a Sparc Classic & my workstation is an SGI Indy, for example. My next acquisition will be a database server, and I'm thinking HP PA/RISC at the moment... (My serial console is a 1989 Psion MC400 mobile computer.) I'd dearly love a Vax (first 'real' computer I used, don't know which model 'cos I only saw the serial terminal,) but fear my wife would kill me if I tried to get one in the flat :-). As for the second 'real' one I used - an Amdahl - I'm not even going to mention it to her :^). In my parents' garage I do also have a PET 8096 + dual floppy, a C64 + 1541 + CBM printer, & an A2000. Soon as I have access to a car I'll retrieve them, and start the long job of clearing out the spiders... Once it's back and cleaned & serviceable I'll probably pass the PET on, because I simply don't have the room, but the Miggy I'm _very_ fond of :-) Cheers, Tim. -- Tim Walls at home in Croydon - Reply to tim(a)snowgoons.fsnet.co.uk
