The title is probably a bit too grandiose but today I picked up a small load of computing equipment that is probably enough to start a computer museum.
A 386, a couple of old Macs, some kind of Zenith Data Systems dinosaur, another one called Heathkit with 2 8" floppy drives!, a couple of monitors, external drives. All this equipment probably has about the same amount of computing power as my new microwave, but boy do I feel lucky.
A nice sampler of computing power from the 70s, 80s and early 90s.
The guy also mentioned that he decided to contact me because of the bunch of "computers wanted" ads he found he liked mine the most. Detailed, polite, etc. Definitely pays off to spend time fine tuning your ads.
The dilemma is that I pretty much ran out of basement space and start too look like a hoarder. It's tempting to simply rip things up, but it would be a travesty without at least trying to
get these machines to work. Now what I need is time to do it all. Do you know where I can get some?
