Blushes slightly :-)

I guess I'm happy to meet/talk/drink under the table any visitors to
Victoria who are into classic computing. John, are you planning to visit
Melbourne on your way to Adelaide from Sydney. If so, drop me a personal
e-mail and we'll see what we can organize.

I'd have no problem driving to either Sydney or Adelaide to rescue/collect
the right bit of computing history. For those of you with a poor sense of
Australian geography, Sydney is about 750 miles north, Adelaide about 500
miles east. Someone locally will correct me if I've go the distances wrong
- I'm a km person myself and I did very rough km to mile conversions but
you get the point.
