Following in the footsteps of
@rubber_jonnie's blog on moving
https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =18&t=3905 I too am currently going through the painful process.
Thus Atari work has been suffering the past few weeks and will continue to do so for a while.
As part of boxing up things this evening I will be getting down all the retro hoarding from the loft to see what needs packing. I think there may be a bit more than I remember putting up there. Pictures will follow.

I truly hope it all goes smoothly for you, and like me you'll be in your new place and planning what's next in no time at all.
My advice, get lots of boxes for your retro stuff :)

Also rember to pack your tools 🔧 so you can get at them on a whim.

Good tips @rubber_jonnie and @Tomswork.
Already had interesting discussions about the giant 3D printer needing to be transported via me and not the movers.

That sounds a good idea. They only gotta drop it once and you'll end up rebuilding the thing :(

I only have a regular 3d printer, but I took it with me to the rental place and then on to the new house because I thought it would likely get smashed. Don't let them take it, do it yourself.

Oh dear and this is only half of it. I really didn't realised how much I have been hoarding. There are a lot of 'puters hiding in those boxes.

There be Dragons! (and Amstrad and Atari STs)
What's in the DEC case?

There be all sorts of things :)
I am going to have to get everything out to check what I have and catalog and repack properly. However I need to resist the urge to turn everything on and test its working.
I think it's a 486DX laptop.
I'll take more pics as I go through stuff. I may even offer some of it up for sale depending on what I find :)

That'll have to be after the move and before it gets packed away again!
