  On EBAY there is an 11 7/80 (currently 6 cents).
The guy has no where to
 put it and hopes someone can pick it up. It's located in Greencastle IN  
  Anyone?  
 A little too much heavy metal for me.

   etc? I ask
because it's relatively close.   
 Define 'relatively close'. 
Well, Indy is a straight shot from here up I-65; Greencastle is a bit
to the west of Indy. Going up Indiana 60 to Indiana 37, then to
Bloomington, then up US 231 to Greencastle, just a nice day trip.

But Cliff wants it, so Cliff gets it (hopefully)...

  No! Don't do it! :)  
  I'm hoping to win this one... I may have to
sell some of my
 junk to make room for it, but sacrifices must be made...  
 Hey Clint, when you drive over to pick it up, stop by and pick me
 up.  I live just off I70 about 40 minutes from there.  I'll either help 
 you load it or remind you how nuts we all are.  Then on the way back
 we can stop by my place and 'balance' the load with some other VAX stuff.
 God knows we could all use some 'balance', ey? 
Ah, another Hoosier.... ok, I live in Clarksville, down here in
Kentuckiana. But I really don't want any more big iron anyway
until I can get my Prime 2455 running again. I was midway through
a project of transferring files from magtape to a PC when the PSU
died. Additionally, I'm seriously thinking of running it as a
space heater.
