Rescue needed in NC or DC area
We have an SUV-sized rescue of some nice microcomputers for the museum. It is located about two hours east of Raleigh, N.C. (I don't know the specific town) but the person said he can drive up to DC or Baltimore to meet someone. We'd like to get this done soon (lest the person think we are not taking it seriously), but there is no urgency to bring it all up to InfoAge -- that could happen in the summer.
DC/ Northern VA here. I will be in Newton-Connovoer NC during August for the Laser Enthusiasts Meetup (geek meet of laser show hardware geeks.) Sometimes I go to Winston Salem NC for arcade machine "auctions." Was just there so next one would be 2 months out. I also make it to Grandy NC fairly often for Flippers Variety Store (Pinball mecca!!) Friends are coming to their first VCF East from the Norfolk - Chesapeake VA area if that works.

We're just off I-81 in southern Virginia. We could meet them just off the interstate and pick the stuff up in the box truck, if no one can pick it up directly. Thanks, Jonathan

It sounds like you have other options. But if those don't work out, I'm about 1 hour _west_ of Raleigh and probably could help, at least for securing it in the short run. John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@tuxdriver.com might be all we have. Be ready.
Oh hi, John... didn't know you were on this list, too. Christopher. PS. I live basically in Raleigh, but my 2-car storage area is full and i wouldn't be able to keep anything else...but if anyone's making the trip up North... I do have a previous rescued machine that needs a trip... I don'tknow when/if I'll be going up that way. From: John W.
