Well... shipping isn't too bad for me - I can make it to Rochester
without _too_ much effort (go to Cleveland and turn right), but I'm
sure that it's way out of the way for most of the readers here.

Storage? I'd consider putting my bed in storage and sleeping on the
couch! I'll be following this auction to see where the price (and the
computer) ends up, but unless I'm employed by the end of the week (hah!),
I doubt I'll even make a token bid.

I've always wanted one (my first DEC computer was a PDP-8/L I picked
up over 20 years ago)... well... always as in "since I first heard of
it"

Someone is going to be a very happy camper. Wonder where the reserve
is.
