I have a number of duo's which I no longer use. They're worth more to me than I could probably sell them for. So, I'm thinking about storing them for five or 10 or so years just to see what the future may bring in terms of use, interest and value.
I plan to remove the PRAM batteries, detach the cells and store them in a corrosion resistant container. I'm sure replacement cells will be available when I it comes to restart the units. I'll do the same with the regular batteries. My questions is, how would you go about storing the laptops? I'm considering placing each laptop into a vacuum sealer bag along with some moisture absorbing packets usually found with new electronics. I'm thinking that the removal of air should mean no moisture and no corrosion. What other idea's might I consider? Chuck ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
