Well, part of it was realizing that a lot of the machines I collected
because they were free/cheap/gonna-be-tossed were doing nothing but
taking up (needed) space in the garage. I will NOT toss anything that
I can give away, however - I gave away a bunch of 4/330s, 4/630s, etc,
and tried to give away the 4/690 backplane/blower/power supplies for
two years before I gave up and gave it to the trash man.

If I had the time, etc..
