Finally a good weekend without snow yesterday I was able to meet up with CommodoreZ of the VCF community over the acquisition of a complete NeXTstation mono setup. For those that did not know a few months back a NeXTstation popped up on craigslist in the DC area. I tried my best to pull resources on my end to get out there but lacking my own personal vehicle few others were not able to assist me with getting out there. Fortunately however CommodoreZ lived not far from there at all and was more than willing to act as a middleman/liaison for me to acquire the NeXTstation. We finally met up yesterday and we chatted up for a few hours, that alone was so much fun I almost forgot what I was actually there for! Transaction done, thanked him up and down for the help and headed back home with a machine I always wanted to get my hands on! Everything runs great after setting up the system. It looks as good as the Museum's NeXTstation! I hope to do some interesting things with it soon enough. Once again I cannot express it enough to give my thanks to Z. Without his help I do not know if I would have gotten this in my hands, but he made it happen.

Very nice! If you have not already, make sure you check out nextcomputers.org Especially their file archive (down the bottom of the home page) They have ISO images of the peanuts archive CDs along with disk images (cd and floppy) of many of the utilities, apps, games and operating systems that were available for the NeXT machines.
