To: Jim Sciuto, "Gold Recovery Expert" http://www.tiac.net/users/quiksand/goldtek.htm I invite you to take the time to discover the wonderful efforts a group of dedicated individuals around the globe are engaged in to preserve some of the historically significant vintage computer equipment that you may be scrapping for its precious metals. In some cases, the machines you are melting down have more historic value than any monetary value you may be extracting from their circuits. I realize this is how you make your living, but I think you will find the efforts of these computer preservations at least interesting, if not compelling. Any assistance you can afford us in preserving the more rare artifacts of our computer heritage that you come in contact with or possesion of would be much appreciated. I invite you to visit the Vintage Computer Festival web page: http://www.siconic.com/vcf Sincerely, Sam Ismail Vintage Technology Cooperative http://www.siconic.com/vcf
