Ebay 5360

Folks --

I made the ghastly mistake of bidding on an IBM 5360 ($25). The sale closes
today, and it doesn't look like there'll be other bidders to get me off the
hook. So I thought I do the seller a little favor and spread the publicity
around for him, in case any of you have some unused warehouse space and
were stumped for a way to fill it. I, of course don't. All you need do is
outbid $25 on item 2004672608. ;->~

Seriously (or slightly more seriously) if I'm landed with this thing I'll
probably want to make copies of all the disks and manual then donate it to
a museum collection -- should any be interested. Or a private collector if
their not. The real reason I bid on it was to ensure it's survival of
course. I wasn't actually planning on testing the floor joists in my
1-bedroom apartment. As far as I can tell it's complete, with two printers
and two tape drives. And it's located in Connecticut. If anyone else has a
better idea for preserving it, or wants to lend me a hand (I'm in
Massachussetts) please chime in.

Thanks,
