Oh, there are clubs like that!...and I know a guy who has storage bins and houses FULL...as in FULL!!!..of antique and obsolete hardware! He gives stuff to the Smithsonian and has a few things that seem to quite rare.

He goes to meeting and shows much like folks go to antique auto shows or gun shows, where they compare their Altairs and such.. *shaking my head in wonder*....he also runs the most obscure operating systems he can find....but I doubt he has has ANYTHING running that could log on to the WWW and read Mudcat!...It is just a hobby, like restoring old steam engines.

(and yes...those 5ΒΌ" discs I have ARE probably bad by now...and I am due for a serious cleaning out of memoribilia soon!)
