I got this e-mail from Bill.

Hi BIll, I hope you are still on this list. We're still meeting regularly, so
maybe we'll see you someday. The  next  meeting is 28 July.

If anyone feels motivated to pick up this OS/2 momento, please go for it.

thanks and best regards,
Neil

I really don't think I need buns of steel. I'd be happy with buns of cinnamon.

I see Gordon is looking to give away old issues of OS/2 Magazine and OS/2 Professional. I don't really want them, but I can see that they'd have some historical value. This kind of stuff just isn't on the Internet.

Bill, is this something we should persue?

Thanks for thinking of the Museum, but we already have several years of 
OS/2 Magazine and OS/2 Professional magazines.  I've cc'd  Neil Waldhauer 
to see if he might want these for the West Coast OS/2 Museum.

Probably.
   Therein is a *cornucopia* of still useful information.  The magazines 
are "must have", I'd think, if we want to lay claim to a "museum".

I own Vols 1-3 of "OS/2 Magazine", complete save for volume-1 number-1. 
  Otherwise it's the whole enchilada, I think; every issue published. 
Got 'em a few years ago from Alan Zeichick (first Editor), who lives 
just across the Bay.

I virtually never loan mine.  It might be nice for us all to have 
circulating copies available??  Actually, as it is we've more of a 
Library than a Museum anyway.

I can absorb them, storage-wise (somehow).  Question is how to get them 
here.
   With your agreement, I can talk to Gord - we've been email friends 
for years.  See what he thinks it would cost to ship everything to my 
home, ...or wherever.

Oh bother!  I just gave away a copy of OS/2 Warp 3 Connect and a pile of
OS/2 magazines (from ~'94 I think they were), among other things.
I didn't realize anyone'd want them.. (I thought I asked Neil, maybe i
didn't see the response back, oops!)
The guy I gave them too is a bit of an IBM collector though, i wonder if
he'd be interested in collaborating with an "OS/2 Museum" though.

Or maybe.. I wonder if the Computer History Museum would be a good
collaboration too?

anywho, ttfn!

Don't worry. Lots of these are around, I'm just testing the waters. It would be
good to have a connection to your IBM collector just for community.

I think it would be excellent, but they have not returned my e-mails. Someday
I'll meet them in person and see what they'd like.

Personally, I have too much OS/2 paraphenalia, and I'd like to part with even
more of it. I am grateful to Bill for storing the library.

best regards,
Neil
