also good for soldering irons and twist-lock adapters within reason.)

Someday I'd like to run more outlets including 220 to the home office, where all of the stuff is.   I've had to delcline systems with hefty power requirements (hefty being more than I have available without involving an electrician)

I get offers from time to time for systems, but I want to be able to *do* something with them.   Plus, the power bill.

Also, FWIW - MISER and FRUGAL are up (MISER is a real Alphaserver DS10, FRUGAL is an emulated VAX) and I can reach MIM via LEGATO at present.

For instance, this might be non DEC but I was offered a semi-decent AS/400 system relatively recently, and declined as I hadn't the slightest idea on what I'd do with it.   I was *this* close.
