If you're holding one for me, I forgot and I apologize!
No worries! This was a couple years ago, and Many Bad Things have happened in the world at large since then (which, as I recall, caused you to cancel a roadtrip you had been planning at the time), so multi-day roadtrips to get old Macs haven't been a particularly great Idea.
Anyway, with regard to dead/cap rot-inflicted eMacs, I have an empty eMac case, and I've had this idea for a few years now wherein I'd put an LCD in place of the CRT (the eMac's front bezel, being designed for a flat CRT, is a natural fit for an LCD, other than the fact that the opening is an odd size (17" is just a bit too big unless I were to trim back the bezel, but I bet a 16" panel would work quite nicely with the bezel as is)), and then sticking some other kind of computer (such as a Mac Mini or, given that there's lots of room, a micro ATX PC motherboard) inside.
Anyway, totally let me know when you're passing through, and we can arrange a time/place to meet up!

After the past two years being so dismal and depressing, I expect next year to be probably more of the same, but less intense with a few more signs of hope that there will once again be a normal that resembles 2019, insomuch as we can meet up with neither restrictions pertaining to nor fear of contracting the Plague.
