LOL! Oh gods Chuck... my workshop in the back room practically IS a old PC tech museum. ;] I have the TRS-80 on a shelf under a parts bench, there's a stack of old 486DX-100's in a corner, another stack of old P60's through P166's in another corner I raid for parts [mostly floppies and CD-Drives & cabling] as needed. And then in the working end of the shop, there's my "toy": my Raptor DEC-Alpha 600 that I use for doing benchmark comparisons. ;] And the obligatory stacks of boxes of old vidcards, dead vidcards, dubious modems, dubious or dead Nic cards... dubious floppy drives, network cabling in the "it MAY work" boxes, monitors in the "Good for a few more days... " category, and empty cases that need motherboards and guts. My House, the Elephant's Graveyard: Where old computers come to die. snicker
