> 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.

> 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.
