Yeah, I'm not much of a hocky fan, but check out http://www.gohabs.com.
Lot's o' stuff there. Maybe they're serving the site from an old VAX
(cheap tie-in, I know...).

Not on this list, I won't. :)

It's not too bad (if you want to commute at 3am or so). I was working
in downtown (King W.) and out in Mississauga, and you were pretty much
screwed whether you took the 401 or the Gardiner.

For classiccmp tie-in, the data centre we took over was the old National
Trust at 55 City Centre, across from Square One mall. I found some old
DEC term servers in there, and rescued two. There were also what
appeared to be hubs of some form, where each port was a full sized card
(looked like VME, but quite sure it wasn't). I couldn't save them, as
the entire enclosure made my PDP-11 look small.
