Well THAT was dumb. I hope someone got nicely beaten up for doing
that.
If you only knew all the stuff that we've had to throw over the years.
None of it lightly, but we just do not have enough room to save
everything that we've collected over the years.
It all saddens me, but at the same time, I can't see that we could have
done anything differently. When choosing between what to keep and what
to throw, a DEC 7000 is pretty low on the list. It's basically the first
generation Alpha. There are way sexier Alphas to be found.
Maybe this is the time to also mention that Update also still have two
DECSYSTEM-2060 machines with peripherials around... We have a lot of
stuff, and it takes a lot of space...
And in general, we aim to keep all the stuff in good order and
functional. Not possible to do with some big stuff, but I think we're
better than most museums... :-)
