[Reposted again, as the first *two* times the message didn't seem to go
through, though my other posts did. Is there some strange conspiracy?]

Is anyone in the LA area available to help with a rescue of a large
computer system in Newport Beach on Saturday, Oct. 21? A friend and I
are arriving at John Wayne airport at about 9:15 AM. We'll take a taxi
if necessary to the Budget Truck Rental location in Newport Beach.
We're supposed to start loading the truck around noon, although we might
try to start earlier.

There are three pieces each about the size of a VAX-11/780 (i.e., 60
inches tall by 46 inches wide by 30 inches deep, and about 1100 pounds).
There are also about six large disk drives. There may be other stuff,
but it probably won't be big and heavy.

The place where the equipment is being picked up has a loading dock. In
theory all we have to do is roll from the currently location down some
hallways to the dock and into the truck. But in practice things are
never as easy as one expects, which is why I'd like to find some
additional help.

Thanks!
Eric
