As I’ve written about before here and here, my small office space at City Tech has accumulated many vintage computers since 2014. Due to computers getting so densely packed into my space, it was difficult to show them to interested students or dig them out for classroom demonstrations. After failing to find any other colleagues around campus interested in salvaging those I didn’t need, I put in an e-waste request to have 15 computers removed. After recording serial numbers and other pertinent information, I stacked them next to the office entrance and I rearranged the remaining computers to be more presentable and easier to get to without too much hassle.
Also, I used some LEGO and DUPLO in the office to build stands for the large magnetic disk from my parents’ auto parts store computer and an Apple Newton donated by one of my friends at City Tech.
