Novice prospectors guide

Okay, I'm sure this is going to cost me, but... :-)

I've made a first-attempt at a list. You can find a link to it,
called "Machines to watch for", from my classiccmp web page, at
this URL:

        http://www.cs.unc.edu/~yakowenk/classiccmp/

I'm open to suggestions on additions and deletions. My current rule
of thumb (which is also open to suggestions) is that it belongs on
that web page if there is sure to be someone who wants it enough to
pay shipping charges for it, or otherwise arrange to take posession
of it.


While you're there, kindly glance at the Rescue Squad volunteer
list, and let me know if your entry needs an update.

BTW, how does everyone feel about advertising that? I've considered
posting the URL to various related newsgroups, but am torn between the
possibilities of increased donations and getting the attention of the
wrong people. I'd rather not feed the e-bay "collectables" frenzy.
Should I be shooting for "high profile", or just letting interested
parties seek us out?

        Cheers,
        Bill.
