Some of you know that I was forced to place the bulk of my collection (along with much of everything else I own) into inaccessible storage several years ago in an effort to sell my house.
Well, the house never sold, my daughter was born and things got busy. So the stuff stayed in storage.
Well, we finally decided to pull it to save the monthly fees. The first of two loads arrived today.
This is one half of my garage. Much of the stuff on the right was already there. For the past month I've been sorting through and compressing that part of the collection in preparation for getting all of the new old stuff back out. The new boxes now fill the garage. . . ugh.
The other side of the garage contains more stuff. I'm sure there are some household items scattered amongst the various boxes full of computers, but not many.
And finally, my office. The bulk of the green file boxes on the wall are full of vintage magazines. Pretty much every issue of Byte, Microcomputing, Interface Age, Creative Computing, ROM, Dr. Dobb's, PC, PC World, PC Age, Softalk, PC Tech Journal, Computer Notes and so on, and so on, and so on reside in those boxes.
Also, tons of manuals for S-100 cards, Altair systems and the like.
It's going to take me weeks to go through all of this. . .
The rest of the stuff arrives next Saturday.
