  1. That's a lot of interesting stuff, but I can see why you passed it up.

    I am seeing more and more printers, monitors, keyboards from the "early" days of personal computing in the thrift stores these days. What's going to happen to all that hardware -- landfill?

  2. Yes, Cameron: the landfills are full of obsolete information technology hardware. There are people who sift through the rubble looking for valuable materials -- or information still on hard drives.

    [By the way, notagain, I've got a keytop for you and will gladly accept your SC logo -- drop me a line to confirm.]

  3. Ech. It's kind of painful to witness this kind of "missing link" hardware that existed between retro writing machines and the current technology.
