Before I start, I suspect that I will catch some flak from some list members over this. If that be the case, then so be it. With that said, an earlier haul consisted of 115 NeXT machines, all mono, with roughly 90 slabs and the rest cubes. Also included some 80 monitors, and about a dozen laser printers. And that of course included keyboards, mice, cables, and boxes of other flotsam. These were literally days away from being put in the dumpster, so it was a big task just to rescue them before that happened. Then it took weeks just to get a decent inventory. From that I realized it would take months to test eveything. That made me realize that I am a hobbyist and have no desire to become a NeXT dealer. With the exception of a couple machines and some other stuff, I sent the inventory list to Rob at Blackhole. The machines are now in his capable hands. Back on 7/9 and under the title "Attention NeXT Owners", I asked if there were any list members in need of specific items to 'complete' their machines. I held back enough to probably fill most of those requests. After I have tested those items to make sure they work, I will contact those who responded then. After that, I will make available to the list anything that might still be available. So under the heading "Recent addition", I can now say that I have two complete working mono turbo slabs. Needless to say I maxed them out with the largest hard drives and the most memory I could find. It was not until I finished with the two machines did I realize somthing. So I will ask: Q: What is the the NeXT best thing to having a NeXT machine? A: Having two NEXT machines & WITH consecutive serial numbers. As I said, there are probably those that will give me some flak for 'selling out'. The machines had to be rescued, but I had no desire to test, pack, and ship that many machines. If you want to give me hell, go ahead. I use to say that I considered the day a total loss unless I caught hell from someone. The line "Make My Day" comes to mind at this point. On a good note. During my last phone call with Rob, he indicated he was contemplating a mono slab special. He mentioned the price of $99. All of this was in a 10x20 rental storage locker. Although the NeXT is gone (and I forgot to take pictures), there is still some other machines there. I will probably post a list of that and some other stuff shortly. Most of it will be free for the taking. Mike
