Anyone interested in that may also be interested in a similar effort
of mine, the "Classic Computer Rescue Squad", located at this URL:
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~yakowenk/classiccmp/ccrs_list.html
Since I'll probably be doing an update soon, this may be a good time
to glance at your existing entries, and let me know if they need any
changes.
Cheers,
Bill.

Bill, meesage bounced when I used the e-mail on the site so....
I would very much like to join your list.
My primary interest is DEC equipment especially PDP-8 and Teletype.
I am also willing to act as a salvage point for other items that would be
destined for scrap.
Please let me know if you need any additional information

to copy the text into an editor and view it there. This would not encourage
people to use the list.

I'll send this privately to Bill also - but my info is 5 years out of
date, and I notice just in a cursory glance that several other listing are
no longer valid... might be time for a pre-spring pruning...
But I like it better than the other list (wherein I do not appear)
mainly because I'm a curmusdgeon and utterly refuse to smear myself with
pop-up garbage from Geocities, Tripod, or other "free" webhosting
dirtbags.
Sorry - didn't mean to vent. Must... reduce...... caffein....

Try setting your monitor to 2048x1536 resolution and viewing the page! The
list blue text is so thin (due to the monochromatic nature) that the letters
are nearly invisible. IMHO web pages should all defer to using the default
colors and sizes of the viewer computer for textual information.
btw: My company does do Web based application design as one of our key
product lines....

btw: John, that is NOT a typo. I am running a dual monitor system with
ViewSoncis P815's at that resolution. Between the two monitors I get the
equivilany of 8 1024x768 resolution display areas. Since my development
clustor consists of 5 physical machines, each running multiple virtual
machines (VmWare), it is a great replacement to having 8-10 individual
monitors.

A good quick fix for _viewers_ of web pages with poor text/background
contrast is to do a 'select all' on it. The text color will invert, and
give you a second chance at viewability.
Personally, http://www.cs.unc.edu/~yakowenk/classiccmp/ccrs_list.html
is viewable just fine as is.

2048x1536? Who the hell uses that on a regular basis at home? My inadequate
Sony 420GS 19" doesn't do more then 1600x1200, and I use 1280x1024 for all
browsing (nice to be able to see the text). What is the design resolution of
webpages these days?

I would if I had a monitor (and framebuffer) that could. I used to use
1600x1280 until my last such monitor finally died.

Who knows ??
Right now I have more problms with Java and flash and IE problems
running Mozilla. 800 x 600 works fine for me. Anything larger the text
is too small to read.
