Just a mention that when it was looking like DEC was gone from the flea
markets, This month there was a VT-180 Robin, which I snared, and a
Rainbow w/Harddrive and upright stand, which I left ffor the next lucky
customer.
Also a lot of interesting Mac and Sun, some Atari game machines. Great
overall.
OT: PC/Pentium400's are at the $10 point now, which I take as a greenlight
to
toss some of the more boring (yes,PC's) of the like or just less so that
I've saved.

The next MIT flea is the day after the VCFe, so I may lose out on a few
deals
to some other lucky collector that month.

Don't forget the ruined pyramid at Meidum - built too steep ( perhaps the
aliens were on "SMASH" ) and the other "stepped" pyramids.The pyramids of
the 5th dynasty were very poor , with rough quarried stone not squared ;
whilst those of the middle kingdom were built by the equivalent of our
modern "cowboy" builders - Amenemhat III 's at Dahsur ( not your bent one )
was made of mud brick and has mostly crumbled - perhaps they held an early
"big brother" programme there.
There again, perhaps they used pee cees.
Whoever the aliens were they should be ashamed - 42 !!!????
