The computer graveyard

[Timothy J. allen]

… and that folks, is why Grinner has cool footage when he needs it. 😉

When I moved a few months ago, I gave lots of old computer equipment to the neighborhood kids. The mom of one of the kids made them bring back the old monitor – since it wasn’t a flat panel.

If I had thought about it, I would have found some really tall stairs and recorded the sound of it bouncing down a few flights. Some of the best drum samples I have are things like that.

Boy, I am embarrassed and find this actually discomforting as I know that you, Nick, and many of the other far smarter voices than me are the real mental powerhouses around here.

And most importantly, I am honored to know you all and count you among my friends.

I learn from you constantly.

geez, doesn’t seem all that long ago 1″ machines were state of the art… I am getting old!

The fine television broadcast facility where I work during the day is in the process of disassembling lots of old equipment little by little (kind of like the “I took it one piece at a time” song played backwards!)and recycling. Evidently, copper is pretty valuable at the moment and they have a tub of wire/windings of thin copper… looks cool. Pretty weird to see stuff we took such meticulous care of being taken apart like an autopsy.

Personally, I think it would be wise to keep one of each of the older formats around in your shop as you never know when you’d have an opportunity to make some transfer cash.

Larry- by any chance, do you still have an Affinity (or parts) available for sale? Ben

I still have the system, and I just set it up and it works great. Contact me offline at larry@triangleprod.com.
