That's how I'm choosing to read it.
Nothing wrong with old hardware - in my old apartment we had, running, an
Atari 800XL, Mac Classic, 2 AT&T PC7300s, AT&T 3b2, Apple IIe, 486DLC-40,
486DX2-66, 468DLC2-50 (notebook), 486DX4-75 (laptop), 386SLC-25(I think) old
notebook. There had been a 286-12 and a Convergent Miniframe, but they
died. The old notebook got sold.
I kept the Atari 800XL, it was my first home computer, and the laptop is
mine. A couple of the others were, but I left them to my roommate. (The
Apple IIe was unboxed and powered up for the FIRST TIME in August. It had
been sitting in a closet back home since it arrived, never used.)
Old hardware is fun - but you have to draw a line somewhere. ;-)
Oh, we had a MicroAnnex XL kicking around for a while... And there are a
couple of Annex IIe's, I think forming part of a table now or something.
I'm a founding member of GweepCo in Worcester, MA, which runs GweepNet
(gweep.net) - a UNIX BBS/UUCP link which I think has a Sun 3, 3b1, and
a Unisys/Convergent miniframe thing. (Not quite a Miniframe, not quite
a Mitiframe - Convergent names.) A MicroAnnex XL, Annex IIe, an old AUI
concentrator, and various terminals and devices that come and go as it gets
played with. All of it hacked, scrounged, bought cheap, or 'acquired'. ;-)
It is sort of a local meeting center for up and coming geeks and their
friends, runs rather well and it keeps growing. (Several worcesterites get
UUCP feeds to their machines to link them in.)
