Rumor has it that Tony Duell may have mentioned these words:

Sure you can -- you can use them to disassemble the "fecal matter" that
passes for a computer nowadays & reuse the jumpers/switches/headers/etc. to
rebuild *good* computers! Too bad there isn't more 74-series chips on the
boards nowadays...

Tony, I'd prefer to modify this slightly: "Let's have a more diverse range
of *On-Topic* stuff here..."
I'll admit I paid no attention to this list some time back (4-5 years ago)
because 80% of the posts were about VAXen -- That was a few years before I
had one, and at the time they interested me little. I didn't post about
what I enjoyed because of this, which was foolish.
Nowadays, tho, I'd *love* to see 80% of the posts on this list about VAXen
-- even if I still didn't have one.
And, IIRC the list started in '95 or '96... I *might* have some archives on
CD at home which could shed more light...

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
