Bye-bye hardware

[Lee K. Seitz]

Tis a sad day. I'm cleaning out the garage. Time to let all this
hardware I've done nothing with for years go.

So now that we know Stuart isn't going to get any ;-) are you offloading any specific way? Could post it to the cctalk or vcf site if it's vintage or interesting.

We can rename the group from SWCollect to HWSquander for this topic only! ;)

Unfortunately, there was an urgent need for space in the garage, so it all went to the curb. However, either a post to Craigslist or a random passerby (the latter seems unlikely) resulted in it all disappearing. I don't even know what all I had, but I think it ranged from 286s to Windows XP machines and several CRTs. I kept one CRY and my old Windows 95 machine that probably won't boot (to Windows from the hard drive, anyway) since it was the last machine I had with a 5.25" drive. Too bad it doesn't have USB ports. Guess I'll have to burn files to CD-ROM to transfer them.

Oh, wait, did I see an Ethernet port on it? Hmm, actually that may have been an Ethernet card I tried installing, but it didn't work. I really need to get my files off all my floppies.

Sorry, my phone doesn't do random quotes. If it doesn't feel right
without one, go to http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/sigs/.

/me sheds a tear. You threw away a 286? Those go for enough money on ebay
that they are typically worth your time to list, pack, and ship.

You're all insane and trying to steal my magic bag!

You're kidding me! Oh, well, I guess that's why someone was willing to come get it all. I should say that they were mostly untested and I'm pretty sure all the hard drives were dead.

Besides the Pentium, there's one other system left, only because it was too much trouble to get to. It's probably a 386 or 486. Oh, and I think I saw an original PC/XT keyboard in a box I still have.

If the list allows attachments, I'll follow up with a photo of it all on the curb.
