I'd been a member of #SDF for about a year or so when I posted to #BBoard to get rid of a load of 10-12 year old #DEC workstations and a server that my wife's ex left in his house. Someone responded, and we met down in Lewisville or somewhere. I don't know if that person was able to get them going. I have this hope/wish that they're still running somewhere and now 30ish-year-old computers living their lives.
On a similar note, I received a Raspberry Pi from @dctrud on his way back across the pond.
