Howdy folks! I confess I've done the barest amount of lurking having only signed up today, but it seems that an intro post is somewhat customary so what the hay!

I'm located in Western Canada, and have recently become the steward of a pile of NeXT hardware -- mostly low-spec slabs, I believe, including a number of B&W monitors. My Fall/Winter project is to catalogue this collection and hopefully find a better home for it than the recycler! The machines have been sitting in storage for close to 20 years, so I'm sure they are in assorted condition, but I'm hopeful that I can assemble at least a couple of working units.

I'm looking forward to getting to know this community as I start on this endeavour; Once I have a better sense of exactly what I'm dealing with, I will start a work log and document the journey to (a?) working system(s?) and hopefully eventually will be able to find homes for these poor, neglected slabs!

Ta!
