Mr. Motts - well, you've done it again! I would be your personal servant and carry every bit of your equipment on my back if I could accompany you on just one of your journeys! Keep up the good work!

Oh and I forgot to mention the IBM 8 inch floppy disks of which I still have a few....

I can top ALL OF YOU! My first computer was a Tandy 1000, had no hard drive you had to swap out 5-1/2" floppy disks between the program and saving data if you wanted to. Then a 10mb hard drive came on the market and I remember the ads tells us that 10mb (megabyte) would be all that we would EVER need, we NEVER WOULD FILL IT UP! HA! Now, I have a 165 GIGABYTE hard drive and that's almost full! Then of course there were the mainframes. My first bank job (let me rephrase that) there was an entire room that was the computer. The floors were raised to provide cooling and boy was it cool in that room. Sliding doors, the whole works. Watch that old Kathryn Hepburn movie "Desk Set", and that's exactly how it was. Ahhh the good OLD days!! They weren't that long ago when you think about it!!

Which is worse...taking a dump next to someone with little to no privacy or taking a bath next to someone with little to no privacy....given the choice I would have to go with the bath...at least the smell there would be CLEAN - - either prospect is pretty dismal

What were these people thinking? No wonder they were insane, I would be too if I had to poo right next to someone with no privacy!!

I agree with "Seventh" and the others, it's neat to look around and take photos but I would want to root through any files or belongings I found just to get a glimpse of the history and lives that happened there. Beautiful.

I remember those IBM 8" disks well and the drives that took to read them. They looked like a toaster with a thyroid condition, all bloated up with two slits for the disks. That's when 10mb hard drives came out and we were told we would "never fill one up"!! Now GIGAbyte drives are common and terrabytes on are tap. (I'm a computer nerd from WAY back!!)

I guess when they say "Stainless Steel", they mean it!! This site has definitely inspired me to investigate some of the many vacant buildings I see in my travels in upstate NY. Not to mention research on closed hospitals.
