NanoraptorI suspect I am the current record holder world-wide for number of DEC VT100s picked up and set down over the last 24 hours.
Moving house sucks.
scy@NanoRaptor Vascular Training 100
Bernard Sheppard@NanoRaptor quite possibly, but I've done 16 3279s, a controller, disk packs. Twice.
Lars Brinkhoff@NanoRaptor It's called deadlift because it's obsolete technology.
Alex Feinman@NanoRaptor my record was six when we upgraded the computer lab with vt220s...how many have you collected? (he asks in wild admiration)

WOMUMP
Firehawke@NanoRaptor Hope you didn't catch a terminal disease in the process!
joat@NanoRaptor it's a terminal condition
David H. McCoyLot of machines. Must have been moving at terminal velocity.
Fritz Adalis
Alex Willmer@NanoRaptor ... average person lifts 0 VT100s per year. DECs Dana, who moved to cave & lifts over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

I had the opportunity to pick up some old WYSE terminals circa 2001, and I didn't.
I still feel bad about that. :P

I used to maintain a set of monochrome CRT displays (mostly green, a few red) in a server room, for textmode console work.
Lower power consumption than colour, and much less shelf depth needed.
They eventually got replaced with 4:3 flat LCD displays.

Red? You mean amber? Red would be terrifying. ;)
Wow, I've never seen that. That sounds unnerving. XD
lolcatYes, truly, deeply sucks.
Though, once, during the 1994 NBA finals, while my partner was out of town, I moved almost the entire contents of our apartment to another unit on a different floor. I borrowed a shopping cart from the neighborhood grocery and took my time - wheel a cart of pots and pans into the new pad, sit down on a box, and watch Hakeem do his thing for 10 minutes before making another trip. Of course, this was all on a 10" B&W TV. It was perfect.
F2@NanoRaptor the super heavy weight class is lifts of SGI and Sun Microsystems Trinitron monitors!

@NanoRaptor Dunno in circa 1990 I did an office move over a weekend of about 1000 desks.
They were almost exclusively DEC VTs, although most probably VT420s (of which I still have a few)

@NanoRaptor I feel you!
Deb Nam-Krane@NanoRaptor I have lived in the same place for three decades, largely because I wanted to avoid moving.

My prediction for the length of the current Vinyl record revival is “Until they have to move”

Robert Bowdidge@NanoRaptor so it was essentially a DECathalon?
Ham Ninja (Chris Claborne)@NanoRaptor Since I picked up exactly 0, winner winner, chicken dinner.
Jonathan Z Simon@NanoRaptor You are a time-traveling Terminalator.

@NanoRaptor it’s the blurst 😞🫂
