360/50 microcode listing

[William Donzelli]

Yes, a thief *would* come in and steal the things - at least the cards.

When I was shopping for a building for my collection, I had the scrap metal
thieves in mind. I am not so worried about it now, as I live at the place
now and have taken several steps to beef up security, but for a time, my
fear was that someone would, for example, grab a armful of cards out of a
Cyber, instantly turning the machine into a chrome donut. Where would I get
replacements?
