Around March of next year, all of the data on that VAX will be gone/no longer needed. I've already got the slugs and the shotgun is polished and ready to blow several very large holes in the thing. I'm thinking about pouring Liquid Nitrogen over it first, just for the effect.

If you're gonna do that, you could send it my way instead. We need to preserve our computing heritage, not destroy it. Or at the very least, I need to collect more crap that'll gather dust.

At the same time, I knew a guy who, about ten years ago, bought an old Intel multiprocessor machine (can't remember the manufacturer now -- Con-something?) from NC State University's computing department for cheap after they retired it and then sold tickets for people to take whacks at it with a baseball bat. As I remember, he made quite the profit.
