...and the VAX 11/780 board, the Winchester drive and D-44 pack (holds down
the RPG pads and COBOL coding sheets when the winds of change blow
through), the old TI "Silent 700" thermal terminal (which got me away from
my "80 column mind"), the Trash-80 Model 1 and model 100, the
Timex-Sinclair ZX-81, Commodore VIC-20, Interact Z80, a Bally Astrocade
that's never been out of the box, a TI 99/4a, Commodore 64 and 128, Amiga
1000 and 500 and 2000, etc., etc., etc...

I understand the memorabilia thing well.......
