That's been dead for nearly as long as I've been here, about a year.
And there's also that rescue-list put up by Isaac Davis, that also has
been non-maintained for as long.
My suggestion to everybody is to put up your own classiccmp page, and
make sure you include the words "classic computer" so it can be found
easily through the search engines. Or, if you are volunteering to
rescue old machines, include the words "classic computer rescue squad",
and include your interests, geographical area, and contact info.
At one point, I was extremely tempted to put up some "official" web
pages to take over for those dead pages. But then I thought about it:
both of the other two who did this have vanished without a trace.
Maybe I don't want to follow too closely in their footsteps. :-)
Bill.
