Several years ago before I was collecting the company I worked for had
expanded so much there wasn't room to house the old DEC kit we'd acquired
over the years. I didn't have room at home and couldn't find anyone who was
interested to take it so many things got tossed; VT52s, VT100s, VT102s, a
VT180 (I kept the disks), RL02s, TS11 or two, TU81, MicroVAXen, MicroPDPs,
terminal servers........etc etc etc....gah! Perhaps that was the cause of me
becoming a packrat :)

cheers
