Dear collecting brethren, after I asked the List for photographs to be used in an article on collecting computers Joe Rigdon asked: "You ARE planning on telling the dealers that antique computers aren't worth bothering with and to promptly give them to their nearest Classic Computer Collector aren't you?" In the article I claim collecting computers is like collecting money - you don't have to be a banker to collect money and so you don't need to be a techie to collect computers. Then I warn would be dealers that in fact computers are much to complex to handle without a great deal of technical expertise. As far as promoting the CCL, I do, but it is up to each collector to work hard and diligently to create their own channels and sources, and to buy and sell with honesty and integrity. Happy collecting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Kevin Stumpf * Unusual systems * www.unusual.on.ca +1.519.744.2900 * EST/EDT GMT - 5 Collector - Commercial Mainframes & Minicomputers from the 50s, 60s, & 70s and control panels and consoles.
