In all this discussion, has anybody considered giving this to the
Computer History Museum (www.computerhistory.org) in Mountain View,
California?

I visited there in July 2004 while attending training for the systems
that are planned to replace our Tru64 systems (which were expected
some years ago to replace our OpenVMS systems ;-P).

I was very impressed with the collection and the efforts to restore
stuff.
