Up to now my collecting has been pretty much DEC stuff and a few
odd Intel boxes. So I guess you could say we suffer from the same
form of insanity.

you continue to haul home DEC.

It was more of a rescue than looking for satisfaction. I kept them
from the dumpster. I will keep a couple, and am sure homes can be
found for the others. Of course there is the testing of all of
these which will take a fair amount of time.
