Hi all.. First post to the list (been lurking for a month or so :-)

Hmm. I don't have a speciality yet 'cos I don't really have enough
equipment to constitute one, but if I ever accumulate enough it will be
Unix workstations and servers.
My main interest is in well designed kit that I can use to serve a
purpose - my home web server/DNS/MTA etc. is a Sparc Classic & my
workstation is an SGI Indy, for example. My next acquisition will be a
database server, and I'm thinking HP PA/RISC at the moment...
(My serial console is a 1989 Psion MC400 mobile computer.)
I'd dearly love a Vax (first 'real' computer I used, don't know which
model 'cos I only saw the serial terminal,) but fear my wife would
kill me if I tried to get one in the flat :-). As for the second 'real'
one I used - an Amdahl - I'm not even going to mention it to her :^).
In my parents' garage I do also have a PET 8096 + dual floppy, a C64 +
1541 + CBM printer, & an A2000. Soon as I have access to a car I'll
retrieve them, and start the long job of clearing out the spiders...
Once it's back and cleaned & serviceable I'll probably pass the PET on,
because I simply don't have the room, but the Miggy I'm _very_ fond of :-)
Cheers,
Tim.
