HA! I'll bet that got your attention!!! =-D

Since it's you...you...you PEOPLE who have inspired me to continue
this mad hobby of collecting and restoring computers, you will have
to suffer every step of the way with me...

...as I get my Vector Graphic MZ converted to a Single-User CP/M
workhorse...

...as I finally get my SWTPC 6800 into functional condition...

...as I transfer 10 zillion tons of DEC minicomputers from my garage
into the narrow kitchen hallway, down a narrow flight of stairs into
my basement.

YES! You will ALL suffer with me! All of you!!!

=-D :)

So I moved the TS05 in the short rack from the garage to the basement
so I can finally hook it up to the MVaxII.  There's just nothing quite
like DEC gear to work up a manly sweat...and a manly scent.  *sniff*
BTW I've found a wonderful way to get DEC racks down stairs (with the
equipment removed, of course)...you simply lay them down on the smoothest
surface and SLIIIIIIIIIDE them down.  Of course, carpeting makes this
much more pleasant and much less damaging to the gear.  It seems much
safer than having a 300 pound rack topple over on my chest.
It also helps if there is a person on either end to slow its descent
or else you end up with a hole in the world at the bottom.  (Perhaps,
it was a rapidly descending DEC rack that caused the extinction of
the dinosaurs...hmmm...)
