@davefischer@hachyderm.io I love CRT screens, but my god the storage costs. That's why I have limited myself to one G3 iMac, one giant Trinitron TV, and one 21" Trinitron monitor.

@davefischer@hachyderm.io those look like Trinitrons! Nice! I bet they still work great. Wish I could get one but I live nowhere near. I’m sure someone will grab them though.

@davefischer@hachyderm.io I suppose at a minimum someone will take them for the copper. I set an old CRT TV out by road years ago, assuming someone would be happy to take it (had a note on it that it still worked). Within an hour it was smashed and the flyback transformer gone.

@davefischer@hachyderm.io you could almost stage an office scene from the X-files with these bad boys.

@davefischer@hachyderm.io I wish I were closer, I hope you find a good home for them. I have neither Sun nor SGI glass, and a 13W3 to VGA adapter just isn't the same. ;-) It is _lighter_, of course ...

@davefischer@hachyderm.io This is amazing! I would drive down for them but I can’t handle the flicker from CRTs anymore. The pizza box on the other hand 👌 Have been wanting to get my hands on any Sun & SGI workstation hardware for many years, with no luck. But it’s a good 3.5 hour drive from Maine. This is awesome of you to put out there!

@davefischer@hachyderm.io unfortunately, out of the first 26 matches for “Providence” on Nominatim, 25 are too far (the one in Belgium could work, in case you are there)

@davefischer@hachyderm.io This is in the US, I suppose? 🤪 In Sweden, when they don't say where it is, it is in Stockholm. In the world...

Alright, CRT's have found a home.
