Goin’ Down South

Time for more work-sponsored travel! I’m off in the morning for adventure in sunny (!) Orlando, Flordia, staying at the big corporate resort, doing big corporate things. Won’t be much time for treasure-hunting down there, but as always I’ll report any notable events.

Yes, it fit.

Why yes, that *is* a big piece of plywood with a 1A2 key system and a bunch of 66 blocks on it. Another trip to a local treasure horde. Amongst the haul: DEC VT05 terminal, a couple Columbia portable PCs with no drives, a very minty first edition, possible first printing of Ted Nelson’s “Computer Lib” (1974,) some interesting old DEC sales lit and programming guides, and no small number of splinters in my hand from carrying the above board.

Now that it’s in the car (I had help,) I’m not sure how to get it out.
