A Time for Change

After many many years, the great folks at Astin Partners have notified us they need to reclaim the storage space they have provided us.

Therefore, we are moving the collection to storage where I will conduct a photo inventory and attempt to sell off the majority of the collection. I’ll be adding the photo inventory here and posting the material on Reddit and eBay.

I won’t be pocketing all of the funds, but rather after I pay any fees, I will donating a portion of the funds to educationally oriented groups here in Bryan who cater to the underserved (i.e., like the Boys and Girls Clubs).

Of course, if we can quickly find another free storage space, and some volunteer help, we can consider all of the possibilities. But at this point, it’s just me and that isn’t enough to keep this going.

New additions 2015.01!

We have just received an Osborne Executive to go with our Osborne 1 and it came with manuals and commercial software.  This will join our other new addition – a Zenith 248 which was the factory built version of the Heathkits of the late 1970’s.

The collection is located at the Wimberley Building (former Woolworth Building)110 North Main Street.  Right above the Emergency Operations Center and next to Emily’s JimS.

First Friday!

May 2nd from 6pm to around 9pm or so… I will be on the sidewalk in front of the Wimberly showing off two unique luggable computers. Please come down and visit – or better yet – come down and bring something from YOUR collection to share.

Met a lot of old friends and made some new ones.  I think we may have a lead on an IMSAI system from the 1970’s…..

 

MOVE DAY!

Saturday – April 5th at 8AM we need a few volunteers to help move the collection about 2 blocks from McLane to the former Woolworth building on Main Street.

Those with bad backs can help by dusting, or doing some research on the units for later display on this site and on signage.

Old location:
McLane Intelligent Solutions: 214 N Main St

New location:
Wimberley Building (former Woolworth Building)110 North Main Street
