OK, here's my $.02 --
Sign me up for these geographic regions:
1) Northwestern Baltimore (Owings Mills)
2) Western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh/Latrobe)
3) Central NJ (East Brunswick)
I'm currently living in #1, storing most of my TRS-80 / Commodore
collection in #3 (parents), and visit #2 (in-laws) at least once a
month. I'll also seek out Atari 8-bits (I have a 400 in working
condition).
I'm particularly interested in the Radio Shack Line (have 4 Mod 1's
and am working on a vintage Mod 3). I also have a 102, PC-3 and
PC-4.
HOWEVER, like other posters to this list, I have a wife that "simply
doesn't understand the value of old computers" and am currently
living in a townhouse with two young sons (read: ZERO storage space).
As such, I don't think I can comfortably call myself the first line
of defense in most salvage and rescue cases.
Glad to see this project come to life in such short order!
