Minneapolis. Apple has released system 7.5.5 on their web site recently.
I dont have many monitors, and those would be difficult/expensive
to ship. But I have several base units, and i can upgrade them to
250 meg hard drives and fill em with 1 meg simms easily enough (8 meg
total).

2 summers ago we had 2 large stacks of these in the hallway, eventually the
janitor took em all and sold em to some company. I have at least 3 I
could trade away for interesting old stuff. I never expected to collect
Macs anyways, but they seem to fall into my lap...

Old sun workstations are also easy for me to come by. There will probably
be a few sparc 1's and 2's tossed this summer, as well as SLC and ELC's
of course. And who lmows, one of these days we may start tossing better
stuff like the IPX's.

There's a VT100 in the hallway right now. Some jerk went by and
cutoff the keyboard cable for some assnine reason, probably thought
it was a stereo jack on the end...

Oh yeah, and there will be 2 apple imagewriters tossed this summer.
