What we really need is a lending library and a central
repository for
classic computer equipment. The obvious solution is to go underground.

How about decommissioned missile silo?
A recent episode of 60 Minutes or one of its clones howed a guy
out west (relative to Indiana) who's bought a silo and is living
in it.

There were lots of silos from the Atlas days that were cleared and sold more
than 20 yrs ago. The Atlas didn't last long and most were scrapped in the
middle 60's after just a few years in service. Upstate NY still has quite a
few that were converted to shelters, observatories, underground labs, homes,
etc.

This is not a bad idea at all.
Anybody local enough to come and get something, is formally invited to
borrow and play with just about any old computer thing I have. This would
include, but not be limited to;
Apple IIe
Apple IIgs
IBM PC
Various old laptops
Mac Plus
Mac SE
Mac SE with networking
Mac SE/30 w/wo networking
Mac IIx
Mac IIfx
Mac IIci running NetBSD as a router
Mac Q700
Mac Q610
Mac 6100
Mac 7100
PS2 model 9595 server
Apollo various from 400T to 725/50 PA-Risc
C64 whole system
Monitors and other various bits possible too. Also for the adventure minded
non working examples may be available for the pleasure of repairing them.
I am in Orange, CA about 5 miles east of the 22/55 fwy intersection.
July 21, 2001 is the next scheduled condo garage sale day, and I plan to
make it a hoot.
