Well, good for you. I'm on another continent and this is I think the biggest single retrocomputing salvage operation I've ever heard of in my life. *And* it's in a good cause. My impression is that Jason & his team have a pretty good idea what they're doing and they've already banned some scalpers. So what's the problem? Is there anything in there even _worth_ stealing that non-specialists would recognise? >That > was Radio Research (now gone - and it was not vintage computers, but > other vintage tech). Well there you go then. That would have been of no interest to me. The LGR guy seemed really happy to have stuff I'd consider mundane and boring: PC DOS 4, OS/2 1.0 and 2.0, Windows 3, WfWg 3.11. I have all of those except OS/2 1.0 and that's only because I don't really want it. Mine are leftovers from when they were new; I worked with the sutff. To Clint here it's an exciting glimpse of history. > > What's your beef? > > Too much exposure can bring out the creeps and crooks. They're around anyway. It happens. I suspect if a ram-raider filled a pantechnicon there and drove off, it wouldn't make a 0.1% dent. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
