I get the same feeling here in Ottawa.

We have a classic computer SIG on the local freenet now so
things are looking a little better.

I'm still trying to find a source for a monitor for my
VAXstation II/GPX

And I'm arranging a local project to restore not so old
machines and get them back into use.
