And the IBM zStation... definitely the zStation

All joking aside: if I were in the UK, I'd have chartered a truck by now, even if it meant putting the racks in storage until I finish the renovations... sigh

But here, take this path through the kitchen. When you get to the stack of HP-9000's, veer right. Then at the NeXT turboslabs, joggle around the Indy's on your left. A few yards farther you should see some RS/6000's, if you squeeze in behind them you can get through the opening into the bathroom. Just take the Atari's off the seat if you want to pee."

It's actually easier to go outside and climb in through the window

This kinda reminds me of the place I was living in the early '00s. At some point there was so much hardware piled that I had to walk like an egyptian to reach the bathroom. Really - the space left in the corridor to the bathroom was really tight! This was annoying enough to make me relocate into a larger place a few weeks later. :lol:
