http://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/vcf19_laptops.txt With a mix of annoyance and trepidation, I present the list of items I will cram into my little Toyota and bring to Festivus. I request half a table, please. I request half a table, because 1) is there any space left? 2) I have a plan. I'll do as Doug Crawford suggests: leave the grot in my car to reduce the clutter and my backache. Bring items in as interests merit. Bring them back to my car when interest abates. Not passing judgement, but the sheer volume of items (and my old man's back) suggests to me this is a plausible strategy. Those of you, who are particularly excited about a thing, can email me personally and let me know: name a price. I suggest some prices for items less common. A working laptop has some utility, if only as a terminal for file transfer. In twenty years, I'll tell whoever listens to me, "I once sold a Thinkpad for a bottle of beer; now it's worth a bottle of water! Curses! Who knew?"

Yes.

2 tables left. Now 1.

Good idea.

People are welcome to contact me privately as "Sentry" did. I told him privately, that I don't have such mobos. I tweak my Web page (given previously) as items change a bit. I see however, someone was kind enough to add my list to the Google spreadsheet. Thank you! I was reluctant to mess up the public spreadsheet. I topped the list with a link to my Web page, so that's covered too. None of my things are show-stoppers, maybe the Sony Trinitron. regards, Herb -- Herbert R.
