HELP SAVE THE COMPUTER GARAGE!

Jim Willing's Computer Garage has been around for ages. Due to a series
of unfortunate events, the Computer Garage collection is in peril, and
your help is needed.

Jim moved to the midwest last year and has been trying to relocate his
collection. The people in whose hands he left the remainder of the
collection didn't do a good job of keeping up on storage rent, and so now
the collection is in jeopardy of being lost. Additionally, Jim has fallen
on hard times.

Jim is a very swell guy, has been a computer collector for longer than
most of us, and has been a speaker at every single VCF since the
beginning, so I feel I owe him a debt of gratitude and have decided to try
to help him.

For those of you who don't know Jim Willing or have never visited the
Computer Garage, go here:

The Computer Garage is impressive, and needs to stay intact.

I'd like to announce the formation of the Save The Computer Garage Fund.
All proceeds from anything I announce for sale to the list will go towards
this fund. The goal is to raise $1000.

I will be putting up a webpage on the VCF website to solicit donations.
In the meantime, if you would like to contribute to the fund, please
e-mail me and let me know what you can give. Time is of the essence.

I'll be pulling out stuff that I have excess of and posting them to the
list for sale. Watch out for that in the next 24 hours.

Please help if you can. I know times are tough but even $5 will suffice.
