========
I have in storage a PDP-11/23 with two RLO-2 drives (I think), two or
three VT100 (or 101?) terminals, a line printer and a spare RLO-2
drive.
I would like to get rid of the whole lot, located in Mt. Pleasant, SC.
The mini-mainframe was last powered up in about 1995.
Does this stuff have any value? Is there a market for it or for any
of the parts?
Do you have any serious suggestions re how I might get rid of it.
I have already had several suggestions such as 1) take it all out to
sea and dump it to form a mini-artificial reef; 2) construct a
catapult and send it deep into the Hell Hole Swamp; 3) buy it a one-
way bus ticket to somewhere far away; 4) offer it to any of the local
college IT/computer science depts. to be used as yard art.
The whole mess weighs about 700 lbs.
I would love to see it get recycled or put into a good home if there
is one.
Any serious suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick Hamrick
