I'd take one or two, if you or somebody can arrange shipping (to Salford,
UK, I'd cover costs), just to play with. I have no use for all of them
though! Which are the best sort to have?


I hope the BBC Micros have found a good home. I have a soft spot for these
machines. :-) Back in the day, after having seen one, I always used to
want to make up a video wall out of BBC monitors (Microvitec Cubs are
nicely stackable) but never had anything to drive it with, nor enough
monitors! Maybe that's a project for somebody, assuming the "16 BBC type
monitors" are of this sort.

Microsoft's "remote desktop" under Windows XP seems to manage to send sound
to the remote client (as long as you use the right version of the client)
so I assume it must be possible.. Just needs implementing under X by
somebody..
