I agree, and here in little old England the houses are very small making
the problem greater. I don't have a garage to put big stuff in and my
recently converted loft is already full.

Snap, I love Unix and I would an old PDP to run Unix on, but I don't
have space to keep the PDP kit I already have. My main interests are the
home micros, so recently I have had to make some hard descisions about
passing on the PDP kit I have to other people who can devote more time
to it. (Note: I made this descision a few weeks ago now but still
haven't got around to doing anything about it because I hate the feeling
I get when I think about it, even though I think the things will end up
at a good home.) So if you want some PDP kit and can collect from
Cambridge UK drop me an email.

Ah storage... if I could only find cheap long term self storage around
