If anyone snags this, please followup to the list.

I would be willing to hold a few items for folks coming in for VCF East,
but no way am I hauling the whole pile, especially not monitors.
Or maybe folks coming in can arrange to go see him themselves then,
unless he actually finds someone willing to do the whole batch.

If someone else wants to coordinate parting things out, I'm interested
in tape drives, vlc's or other vs4000's, and maybe some disks for the
stations I already have.

Does E.L.I. in Cambridge still touch any of this stuff?
