Alan! Neat! I like this arm you have! I also have an articulating monster B & L arm and it is amazing but it takes up space on the desk with a monster base.

Re: What is the most prized possession in your collection?
That's a hard one. I feel like the answer should be 'my Mark-8 boards!', because they are so rare. But they're just boards.. they don't do anything. I find the computer I keep coming back to is my Digital Group z80. Digital Group just has that personality factor.

Re: What is the most prized possession in your collection?
Mine is the HP-2000 ... it was a game changer for me in the used computer business as it gave me a one company direction... from dealing in parts to keep it alive to having HP-3000 systems being an indy new HP dealer on PC products in the 80s into the 90s. On a more personal level, the Classic PDP-8 with the plexi top covers we have here in the SMECC museum project I have given them. I wanted one ion 1965and finally got one in the 80s!

Also, the MicroVAX-II is dear to my heart, as I did a LOT of work with it (at home, as well as at work with a variety of VAXen and uVAXen) from 1986 to 1995 or so. When I got it in 1986, it was a ***REAL*** computer, and I was in hog heaven. Jon
