Retro PC YouTuber LGR was relieved to find much of his collection intact, but told me that "more than ever that there's a need to redistribute a lotta this stuff" to ensure its preservation.
Yeah, my parents are getting to the nursing home stage and last week my dad tells me he just has this basically new old stock giant 2000’s Trinitron CRT that’s been basically unused and sitting in a cupboard for 20 years and I was like “Do not throw that away, I’ll put it in storage when you need it gone!” I live in a tiny apartment and thus have nowhere to put it, but I’d rather keep it in unused storage I’m paying for anyway or sell it online or something than reduce the net stock of high quality late CRTs out there. So many gems rotting in attics only to be thrown away when people move out there…
