Wow.  A lot of information.  Unfortunantally, it's going to be just me,
and possible the guy who's going to give 'em to me-- I'll be stopping on
my way home from work.  This may take some thinking.

I heard about two VAX looking for a good home on c.o.v, and I offered to
take them in if he couldn't find a buyer.  One is a VAX 4300, the other a
6130, located in Newark, Ohio.  I've seen pictures of the 4300, and I feel
pretty confident I could manage it myself if I had to, but I've never laid
eyes on a 6xxx cabinet before.  The guy said he has a couple of other
offers, if those are from somebody on port-vax, contact me off list, maybe
we can work something out.

This is making me a little nervous.  Is 1200 lbs a normal config, or all
decked out with everything that'll fit?  I remember hearing some 300+
kilos, which is doable, but I'm not sure I wanna put 1000+ in the back of
the pickup.

I really can't spend any money on this right now-- I blew my bugdet for
the whole year last month, and it wasn't very big to begin with.  The one
saving grace is that these are located ~45 minutes from me, it's not like
I have to cross three states to get them home.
