Post #47,342 by boxley 7/29/02 11:59:37 AM Reply	Friday night went thru my pile logistics, 3 bedroom house furniture to be moved 233 miles away using 1 e150 van and one lincoln towncar. Went thru the 5 1/4 disks, out went a good vga 14in monitor, lots of other hard to replace "sniff" stuff. Saturday morning, van loaded for the first trip stopped to let off number 3 son to his friends. Garage sale next door, Sun Ultra 1 workstation $20 bucks, I guess Ill never change. thanx, bill ."Once, in the wilds of Afghanistan, I had to subsist on food and water for several weeks." W.C. Fields

I almost expected to find rolls of teletype paper tape program listings. Somewhere at home I've got a 4" x 4" magnetic core circuit board from a PDP-8. Something like 1/3 of a 12-bit word x 256 bits. "What? You had magnetic core memory? Why in my day we had to use ...!" :-) Cheers, Scott.

There was one large room, about 15m by 30m, filled about waist-high with cardboard boxes in neat rows and stacks. I opened the nearest and found it to be full of punch cards. Checked a few more boxes at random and found more of the same. Wonder what they'd be worth on EBay? === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]
