While I’d love to get into VAX, unfortunately my housing situation won’t really allow it. Living in a 2 bedroom apartment with 4 people isn’t a prime situation for vintage computers in general. So I constantly have to rotate out what I have in the apartment. At least I have a storage unit to keep my stuff now. Too much of it in the past had vanished from moving.

Too bad I'm on the wrong coast now. I'd love to pickup a small vax for tens of dollars!
Oh well, hope they find good homes.

Very true. Often a collection is worth more in pieces - especially
on a
market like eBay. I've always just told my wife that if something happens to me to call Bill Degnan. But then what? Ideally a few pieces he would hold on to and then direct the sale and/or donation of the remaining via some on-line sellers/brokers. It wouldn't be about a windfall of money for my family, but more about putting it into the hands of others that have a need or want for it -- even if the overall transaction was just break even.
Bill, did I tell you I signed you up for this?
...and apologies in advance if this formats wonky

Gotta laugh. But you know you all can count on me! And I plan to live to be 100.
I have been going with the one thing then one thing out too, rule. Ensures you're left only with good things so when I die my collection will be worth selling or donating to a museum, not much junk. Seems to be working pretty well.
Speaking of keeping lean anyone need a small VAX? I have a few extras. If you're interested into getting into VAXen (Evan seen I can use this term correctly if I remember), I have a few that I will sell for what I paid for them (tens of dollars), if you don't mind coming to pick it up here. I will even help you get started setting up.
Bill
