Altos computers

The deal to get Don's old CP/M - MP/M computers - Altos - to a good home 
collapsed. His widow needs to get rid of them and I can't store them. 
Here's my old message describing them. Please, someone, provide a  home for 
this trove.

Note: I believe that all of this material is still available. I'm hoping 
she hasn't disposed of any of it in the meantime. I don't think she has.
-----
Here's a list of items that must go. Ideally, a small number of people 
would take this collection, so as to not divide it all up and make 
shipping/pickup complicated. If the person who wants the Altos computer 
wants the disks, I will probably fish out all the Altos, MP/M and 
application (not the Milenium Systems disks) and bundle that with the 
computer.

The drive cabinet can go separately. Anything I suspect is DEC-related can 
go separately. The Millenium stuff is probably a separate item as well, 
unless someone wants all of it. If there's no interest in this collection 
as large units, it will go in smaller chunks to whomever wants it.

She's not looking for money for this material, but can't bear any costs, so 
S&H is on you, plus some $$ for packing materials. Local pickup would be 
much, much better.
