Subject: Re: DOVE Bid Sperry Univac Mini at auction
was there a biding war or did 1 person only bid?
It wasn't a bidding war as much as a friendly competition. :-) One of the
other bidders has already contacted me to ask if we were the 'other guy' and
confirm that the machine is going to a good home.
Strangely enough, it seems to not be going anywhere. I've received mail
from the current (corporate) owner who claims that the machine is NOT for
sale, and was entered into the auction by error. I'm still chasing down
details but it appears the transaction will be voided. <sigh> Assuming
this plays out as it seems it will, my next task is to try to be certain the
machine is in fact going to a new corporate home and not to a scrapper. --
