Adrian, would you mind saving one of these for us?

A lot of action lately, I think we have 6 computers waiting to be
retreived. I'm going to North Carolina to rescue a Wang this coming
week, possibly with my mentally ill girlfriend. I suppose when I get
back I'll be quite tappy. My friends would be wont to say, "How could we
tell?"

We got the RCS/RI VS100 last week. It's a really beautiful machine, and
heavy. I don't think you'd want to try and fit one in your apartment,
though you might be able to make it up as a chesterfield. We just had an
IBM cardpunch given to us last night, and after a delay, it looks like
we're getting a flock of IBM 3380's in Wisconsin. Originally there were
2, then 4 now 6. I think they're breeding. Incidentally, you might want
to go to the University of Wisconsin site and hunt down their page on the
Titan Arum which just bloomed.

There's some sort of NCR sitting about 30 miles away. Maybe I'll get to
that in another week. We got a Perkin Elmer, also. It's starting to
look like they may be rebadged Concurrents.
