Indeed you're right Mike! I've got one bay of our garage just stuffed with
DEC iron (11/750, 11/34A, RK07s, etc, etc) that I need to clear out. The
rest of the house has bunches of old radios and computers.
Now the thing is, Beverly likes the old radios very much, questions me on
what I'm doing with all those computers in the house and simply gives me
dirty looks and ornery comments as to when I'm going to get rid of the
garage computers. However, she is quite justified in doing that as I stated
myself that I need to clear the garage out (so I can put the contents of
the storage cubicle (radio stuff) that I'm paying rent on into the garage).
Someday soon, I'll post the garage computers and some other stuff to the
list to get rid of.
Regards, Chris
