I've got a Decstation 5000/125 I'm willing to donate to the cause --
if anyone will pick it up in the Los Angeles area. (Alhambra, CA USA)
The main condition is you haul it away, including the 19" color
monitor. This system was in working condition last time I tried. It's
even historic -- it was lacon.worldcon.org. (Ran the full website for
the 1996 World Science Fiction Convention.)
