Two D10-Ls, one often used at work as a test box because work doesn't
have any spares of its own
One AS200 4/233, formerly used as a test system until Samba wouldn't
run on it.  Now its biding time to replace my work VS3100-30SPX _IF_
that machine should ever fail.  Its been waiting a while now ;)
One VAXstation 3100m76SPX, only run rarely now because the only
monitor I have is on...
One PWS600au, my daily use workstation until too many sites slouched
over into flash-only
One InfoTower with multiple CDROM drives
One DECserver 90M console/modem server
One DECtalk single channel unit that I really need to get back online
and play with.

Other than that, one Mac Pro, one G5 Mac, one G4 Mac, and one Acer
Netbook running Ubuntu, one Woz edition Apple IIGS, and one Apple ][+
signed by the Woz himself.  All functional and used occasionally

Departed DEC systems given to a local hobbyist: VS3100m76GPX,  AS600
5/333, and two 166MHz UDBs
