You do not have to make a relative the executor. If you have an estate planner
they could make a recommendation. It can be anyone. You can name co-executors(
as many as you want) — you can even assign a task to each co-executor.
Read up on it.

I am dreading the whole executor business again. When I was young I had my
Dad, but he passed a year ago, so I have to change that. I have seen first
hand now what the job entails and I'm not really sure my children are up to it
- it is a major undertaking. Almost all of my family lives 3000km
What if you outlive your “executioners” ?
You need to have someone a good deal younger than you to be your executor.

Yeah, a plan made with reality in mind, not just want you wish to happen. When
you pass the people you task with executing your will might not be able to do
it so gotta think along those lines.

it was kind of a general question, but I have a sparcstation 5 or two that it
would be nice to put a second disk into. Also SGI indigo and Indy that I think
needed caddies...it's been so long. I bought them but never followed up, not

The number of UK museums seem to be growing. Perhaps some of the newer ones
are not yet full. I think the large Science Museums are pretty well off but
the smaller ones may be more flexible. Of course, they are also in greater
danger of fading away.

that's a good point a premier auction house will get more than Ebay. A

I don't know.
This is new and I have only seen a few auctions and they have been
from some high profile people.
Here was the RR Auction from March 21, 2024

I don't think you can beat direct sales. Ebay will probably bring a higher
price but you have to ship take pics, etc. If you go the auction house
route you will get less money, but it will be less effort on your pat.

Hi alll,
I have a Charles River Data Systems MF211E, a branded PDP-11/23 that is
looking for a new home. Right now it's running RT-11 but I've also run
2.9BSD on it. I got it with the intent to run Ultrix-11 but due to the
non-standard disk controller I could never get that working. Everything

Storage is one reason I have a Palm Pilot collection ;) I have a dozen
different models from many vendors (including one used on Better Call Saul) as
well as accessories and all of it fits in a bankers box.
I hear storage is a problem for CHM.

What Sun 4c/4m things are folks looking for? With Shapeways shutting down, I
had incentive to figure out how to get decent prints out of my 3D printer and

I agree. I have been doing research about a computer I have and
everything I found about it have been from magazines and other
publications.
Magazines help document history. They are very important.

I enjoy and have many of the older magazines. Some I have in plastic
and some I can actually take out and read because they are not in good
condition.
When I get my house, I would like to display some of them like this.
