I LOVE historically important technology!

However, I would like to stay married a while longer....

But a list of stuff needing a new parking lot, er, museum space would be
nice. 

I refused to give up my 1984 NEC Starlett laptop until it was left with
4 C batteries installed and they leaked and killed it. :(  All solid
state, CPM, word star, 1200B modem. Someone paid a large chunk for it
when new.
