Directory of old computer collectors

[Randy Dawson]

Hi Jim,


Anybody that is paranoid about telling their location and the computer dinosaurs running in their basement needs a head alignment.


Another case of some guy over-estimating the worth of the junk we hold on to.  It is zero, of value to only us that play with it.


And our numbers are diminishing every day.


Randy

Randy,
I'm sort of running interference for STeve on the list.  Since his email is cc'd here and he's a subscriber I suspect has seen this.

the tosteve at yahoo.com<mailto:tosteve at yahoo.com> is his email for these computer matters.

People are getting a bit torqued out over non issues, I think, thanks for chiming in.  Hopefully we can all help each others collecting efforts with a bit of visibility.

thanks
jim

Hi Jim,


add me to your list.


I am in Thousand Oaks, CA (Los Angeles area).


I have a Tektronix 4051 vector graphics computer running, just BASIC games at the moment. I have  a Compaq Model 1 with the PC-IDE flash setup, running Autocad, Versacad, Dr. Halo, Turbo-C, MS-Fortran.


I am in conversation with some Tek guys to add a modern RAM flash drive to the 4051 to replace the DC300 tape.  We are about to build some PCBs for it, let me know if you have a 4051.


Randy

I will post anything you want me to, just tell me.
email is not necessary, a link or website will do fine as well.The map is intended to be a method to see who's where for assistance, trading, meet-ups, etc.There's hundreds of people here, but few know where each other live, I suppose.

You do get that this isn't cctalk, but one that people had already sent
contact info for.  I sent him revised publishable contact info for the
list.  I realize he probably made the request w/o 40 pages of consent
forms to read, but he seems to just be asking to allow him to publish
from that list, and a note here for anyone who didn't see it in their
email, since the respondents came from here.

thanks
jim
