  Hello, my name is Sean. And I collect old computers.

  I send this to the list owner (as per instructions), so I figure I might
as well send it to the list as well.

  The computers I currently own and use:

Amiga 500 - working condition, seven years old (although the model
                  itself dates from '87)

IBM PCjr - Working condition, all original parts (new style keyboard
                  though - never did get the chiclet style one).

Xerox - Exact model unknown. Does something, but without a
                  working monitor, can't tell for sure. Oh, that and while
                  I have a harddrive for it, I don't have the connector.

Tandy 6000 - Currently in the process of being restored. It would have
                  been done a while ago except for my having dropped it. I
                  think it survived, except for some major damage to the
                  case.

Generic 386 - Possibly 5 to 7 years old. The only thing unique about
                  this computer is the brass colored metal base, I think
                  from IBM.

uVAX 2000 - Works, except I know very little VMS and the harddrive is
                  going (possibly damaged during shipment - there is
                  something loose inside the drive unit).

Tandy 6000 - My first Tandy 6000 system in working condition. Also has
                  a Tandy Data Terminal hooked up to it.

Data General One - PClone portable made in 1984. Almost, but not quite 100%
                  IBM compatible. Has perhaps the best keyboard of any
                  laptop/portable I've ever encountered. In working
                  condition.

Color Computer 2 - My first computer, and still own it. Works, but in
                  storage (no room to set it up).

Color Computer 1 - Again, it works, but in storage.

C64 - Works. In storage somewhere.

Newton - My only Apple computer, and looks to be orphan. Works, in
                  daily use 8-)

  I'm also planning (hope hope) to pick up an HP workstation this weekend.
The local university (which I attended) is having an auction of old
equipment, and if I heard correctly, the CS department (which I attended)
has some equipment being auctioned off, and I suspect the units (all HPs I
think) are the ones I learned Unix on (68020 based machines). They should
go pretty cheaply in this day of PC hardware.
