[rescue] storing old Suns and parts

[Lionel Peterson]

Are you responding to me?

This is a rescue group, not a hoarding group. I do my fair share of "emotional collecting" but when you start having to rent storage space to hold, asking why is a fair question.

As I said, I asked to shape the response, I explained tgat there was no need to justify the collection to me or anybody else...

Personally I have boxes and boxes of old x86 stuff that seriously needs to be gotten rid of, it got packed up 10 years ago when we moved from our 1,500 sq ft basement (with attached house) to a house with a 0 sq ft basement.

I've been able to hold on to it for years without spending any real money, but it's long past time to start shedding. (I plan on taking a lot of it to the "free table" at VCFSW in June, to assuage my 'I don't want to put it in a land fill' position...)

The OP has embraced my query, as well as another list member - I don't think I'm really that far off the mark. I've been with the group for about 30 years or so, so I'm pretty sure I 'get' the point of the group.
