[GreenKeys] Anyone feeling charitable?

[Christian Gauger-Cosgrove]

Hello again, and this is a slight double post (I have received some
very nice replies, and I am cheered by them).

Unfortunately the 11/73 has been sold (yay old add), though there is a
VT-125 (you know a VT-100? ... Same thing basically but with ReGIS
graphics) and a Tektronix 4014; so, if anyone is feeling charitable,
and lives in the ability to drive distance, things have changed a
touch so that if you are feeling nice enough to transport anything,
it's gotten smaller, by a lot.

Also, to clarify, no I am not moving from Wisconsin to St.
Catharine's... I live in St. Catharine's, and the only person I've
found selling a PDP-11 (now turned into a VT-125 and a Tek 4014)
happens to be in Wisconsin.

Cheers,
Christian
