Hi Jim,
Anybody that is paranoid about telling their location and the computer
dinosaurs running in their basement needs a head alignment.
Another case of some guy over-estimating the worth of the junk we hold on to.
It is zero, of value to only us that play with it.
And our numbers are diminishing every day.
Randy, with all due respect, have you seen how much an Apple 1 or a
Lisa... or even their _drives_ go for lately? Symbolics machines? Crays?
One-offs or limited-run machines?
While I don't disagree that a lot of us (without question myself included)
vastly overrate their collection of bits and pieces, that is not to say
that _some_ of them can be worth staggering amounts of money to the right
people.
And people have broken into places for dollars worth of easily portable
things - let alone tens of thousands+ worth.
Caution is not undue or unwise.

Randy,
I'm sort of running interference for STeve on the list. Since his email is
cc'd here and he's a subscriber I suspect has seen this.
the tost...@yahoo.com<mailto:tost...@yahoo.com> is his email for these computer
matters.
People are getting a bit torqued out over non issues, I think, thanks for
chiming in. Hopefully we can all help each others collecting efforts with a
bit of visibility.
thanks
jim

Hi Jim,
add me to your list.
I am in Thousand Oaks, CA (Los Angeles area).
I have a Tektronix 4051 vector graphics computer running, just BASIC games at
the moment. I have a Compaq Model 1 with the PC-IDE flash setup, running
Autocad, Versacad, Dr. Halo, Turbo-C, MS-Fortran.
I am in conversation with some Tek guys to add a modern RAM flash drive to the
4051 to replace the DC300 tape. We are about to build some PCBs for it, let me
know if you have a 4051.
Randy

I will post anything you want me to, just tell me.
email is not necessary, a link or website will do fine as well.The map is
intended to be a method to see who's where for assistance, trading, meet-ups,
etc.There's hundreds of people here, but few know where each other live, I
suppose.

can you send a link to the people who are on the list so they can see
their listing? I personally don't mind as long as any record that
includes me personally does not include my email address or phone
number. I much prefer to send people to my web page contact form.
Folks who are on the list should have the opportunity to approve what
will and will not be posted about them. That's not only a legal
requirement in many States, but also common courtesy.

You do get that this isn't cctalk, but one that people had already sent
contact info for. I sent him revised publishable contact info for the
list. I realize he probably made the request w/o 40 pages of consent
forms to read, but he seems to just be asking to allow him to publish
from that list, and a note here for anyone who didn't see it in their
email, since the respondents came from here.
thanks

Hi,
In the past, I requested the email address and home city of old
computer collectors to a compile a list for my own purposes.
Over 120 people had responded, which is great! Now I want to make
this list PUBLIC with a Google map showing everyones location,
email, and collecting preferences.
Since I don't have anyone's explicit permission to publish their
information, I am now asking.
Please let me know if I may, or may not, place your information on
the public webpage.
Thanks-
Steven Stengelhttp://oldcomputers.net/
