Check this out: https://www.vintagecomputer.net/ibm/as400e/AS400e_620_on-trailer.png It's always fun to rescue a huge thing and as you're driving the trailer home you ask yourself, "what have I done?" Here it is inside, getting in was a Herculean task: https://www.vintagecomputer.net/ibm/as400e/AS400e_620.png Next - it takes 25 hard drives, I am going to scale that back, and the power to hopefully limit to less than 15 amps. I have a terminal, tape unit and the software. Bill

Re: [vcf-midatlantic] OT: Almost hate crimed at Kelly's after VCF East
by Christian Liendo 19 Apr '23

I think we can all show support and still respect the victim's choice on going to the police or not. We are not the victims, we don't know how they are feeling. We can be pragmatic and supportive. We should support them in their decision and keep being supportive in our group. If the victims decide to change their mind we should support that as well. I'm not looking to fight with anyone, just asking us to be understanding of their decision.
