the 330 is about 90 lbs my guess, as i can lift it but i'd hate to have to
carry it. other stuff..well more of a space issue than weight.

I understand your sentiment. That's how I feel, but in cambridge space is
really expensive. maybe you have room in sharon? yea I am unemployed too.

I am sure they'll be something left for you to take, and I am adding to
the pile. I am going to be selling a few things to, like my gdm-1962b
monitor. Maybe an ss5 or ss20 (trying to decide which one to keep. I am
limiting myself to a single old sparc).

There's so many respondents for various things that its difficult to keep
who has bids on what straight! for some reason the 3/60 seems to be
popular.
