[flalug] Free: NeXT TurboColor Workstation

Hello all, just joined the mailing list. Honestly, I'm using it to try
and save my NeXT station from being recycled (read: crushed) from spring
cleaning around the house. I have a turbo color workstation with color
monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speaker wedge for free to the first person
to pick it up in Lakeland. There might be some value to this system to
someone but I'm in a giving mood. I can't vouch that it will still boot
but it worked just fine a few years ago when I was using it for local YP
testing in the house (I had a Sun 386i also at the time, unfortunately,
that one has been trashed). Has NeXTStep installed. Please don't ask me
about the HD or memory size, I do not remember but it's very small
compared to today's standards.

Anyway, I am a fellow linux user of 10+ years. Started out on slackware
for personal linux use (don't remember much from those days), VMS and
NeXT at college, dabbled in SunOS for i386 but hated it. I went through
my redhat and fedora1-6 stages but I'm a recent convert to Xubuntu for
home use (I lean toward CentOS/Redhat for servers still tho). So, if
you're interested, just let me know. I'll throw in a 21" viewsonic CRT
to make it worth the gas.
