I agree with [[C|-|E]], where do you put all those machines? Do you have a data center or possibly a basement lab?

To make things worse I also have a decent stack of "early 90s" Sun, DEC and IBM PS/2 gear. Plus there is also quite a large stack of SGI spares.

In my flat I "only" have 2 Octanes, 1 Fuel, 3 Indigos, 5 Indigo 2, 2 O2 and 5 Indys. The rest is either in my or my parents basement. This leaves me with two problems. My basement is 80-90% full and my parents want the old junk out of their house. This is currently year 6 or 7 in this situation, which is not good since some great stuff has been stacked away in either basement since I left university.

Moving into something larger would be nice. Actually I alone and my stuff could use a home suitable for a 2-3 children family.

I have seen Indy and Indigos in my early architecture student days when O2 and Octane just came out. The closet i got in school was logging on to a Onyx quad machine via internet.

I am an Architect but i don't practice it now. Doing energy research and other stuff on my own capacity.

Answering IT (and non-IT-related) phone calls, fixing shits made by other teams, educate users and some IT house keeping...

In the previous life - systems analyst for one of major cellular telco operator in Poland,

Current life - IT at one of the US-based VLFI's in Tokyo, middleware infrastructure, lots of in-house C++, perl, little Scala and Java.

Cheers
