[QuadList] The Demise of Vidipax-Founder comments on AMIA list

[Ted Langdell]

Vidipax founder Jim Lindner posted comments about the dismantling of  
his creation on the Association of Moving Archivists (AMIA) list this  
morning.

As this bulk-sale and then auction developed, I could only think of  
how heart wrenching this must have been to watch happen... especially  
when there were some contractual obligations for the owner to enable  
Jim to obtain the museum contents.  Jim makes brief allusion to that  
in his post.

I ran across the full details when Googling for information regarding  
the owner and Vidipax when the sell-off was announced.

I hope the equipment that survives has landed in good homes.  I know  
that the list-members who were successful bidders (and post-auction  
negotiators) will take good care of what they obtained.

Very tough to see something like what Jim had built be shredded.
