yeah, i have a Centris 650, 2 Quad 950s, 16 channels of old Pro Tools, various Digidesign cards, old software, a Mirage keyboard, various other synth stuff stacked around ...i have no need for it, i just have to set it outside the night before garbage day and it will be gone in an hour, can't get myself to do it...maybe free Craigslist would be a better option... i just stick to my Eurorack, Emu X2, a Micro Mod, and Sonar these days...
i think it's time to clean up around here as well :)

I actually use the Mirages all the time. A piano Mirage sound mixed
with a Wavestation is the main sound I use. Also Mellotron-like string
sounds. Now the Macs are another story. I have some seldom used
software on some of them (Max for instance) and lots of old graphics
programs (I'm a graphic designer in the real world) but most just are
there cause they have something on them that must run on a older OS or
different hardware. Some of them fall squarely in the "door stop
vintage" category. I don't know if you can see the 4 Apple IIcx
computers stacked behind the one rack, true candidates. There is also
an Atari with Dr T's omega software in a pile somewhere down there.
The trouble is you can't throw that stuff away noadays - you have to
pay to get rid of it. And it does still work. Someday they will be
free on Craigslist I suppose...
