[GreenKeys] Anyone feeling charitable?

Hello everyone;


Any one here willing to help me out in potentially moving a
comparatively large (three DEC short racks... each vaguely 3' x 2' x
3') PDP-11/73 from Madison, Wisconsin to St. Catharine's, Ontario?

I'm asking because I don't have the ability to up and get it myself
(see, when you're half blind, you're not allowed to drive a car or
truck), nor do I have the money to afford a shipping company ("Hi,
would you take a kidney as payment?").


And yes, I know this is begging of the purest grade (if you could fuel
spacecraft on begging, you'd probably be able to get to Jupiter on
this). However, given the choice between maintaining my pride, or
getting a nice PDP-11/73 system... I go for the latter instead of the
former. (Ha, ha, ha.)


Cheers,
Christian M. Gauger-Cosgrove










P.S. Still in negotiations for the 11/73, so no definite anything one
way or the other right now.
P.P.S. I give this plan a snowball's chance in hell of working. But no
harm in trying, eh?
P.P.P.S. I have a feeling the first response will be a variant of "NO.
Kindly screw off."
