   I'm snowed under and slowed down due to some medical problems.   
      
   I need to get one of the three 6000s or the 16B I have moved to a   
   good workplace.   
      
   Too much to do and so little time.   
      
   I'll let you know if I need help.   
      
   Looking on the shelf over there ---> and ^ - I see 13 plastic   
   8" cases, each with 10 dsdd disks in each.  The first are   
   the Source TRS80 emails, then comes the first sig on C'serve, and   
   the lots of stuff from different places including many from Bix.   
      
   The Source email list and the first year or so of Mnet80 - before   
   Compuserver put on compilation copyrights I would think would be a   
   treasure trove of first person TRS80  'stuff'.   
      
   WIth some help of a couple of friends we've almost finished   
   scanning and putting up 239 consecutive weeks of top-40 tune sheets   
   back when I worked in radio.  Then comes the 2.5 years of newspaper   
   articles and a couple of published things in magazines.   
      
   I'm darned prolific at times :-)   
      
   Once I get those taken care of I'll move at least two of the 6000s   
   out.  I also have three 3000 - all running Xenix - but haven't   
   powered them up in years.  Those will need to go to a good home   
   too.   
      
   Then I can tacklke on cutting down on the quantity of records in my   
   colletion - starting with elminating a few thousand 78s - which   
   take up a lot of weight and then moving on to the vinyl.  It's fun   
   being a pack-rat, but does tend to make things hard to find.
