Yes, that was an absolute condition plus the one you had below,

Excellent, showing he appreciated it.

Because of a natural reluctance to be rid of things hard acquired 
and not sure they would b e used anyway, I stipped some computers 
and the cards and boards made for pretty mobiles hanging around 
the place on wires from the ceiling. Occasionally I would make a 
composite sculpture of some bits... The carcasses including cases 
and HDs, floppy and CD readers going out in rubbish. 

I might keep my two SE30s, very fond of these, one of them went 
to HK with me way back!
