        Denizens of the Bay Area, check this out!

        HMR Recycling (www.hmr-usa.com), when I had the opportunity to visit,
reminded me greatly of one of the Surplus Warehouses of Olde. Reasonable
prices, huge assortment to choose from, and 100,000 sq. feet of warehouse
to peruse!

        Example: Nearly new-looking Tektronix 7844 dual-beam O-scope, with a pair
each of 7B92A timebase and 7A26 vertical plugins, with cart: $400.

        Other examples: Emulex P3000 print server, $20. DEC RRD42 SCSI CD-ROM
drive, $20. Exabyte EXB-8200 2.3 gig 8mm tape drive, $125.

        One of my finds there was a pair of DEC storage expansion cabinets at $45
each (bargained down from $50 since I bought both of them). They each
contained a pair of DEC RZ57 drives (made by Micropolis, 1.0 gigs each, all
SCSI). Heck of a deal!

        They get new stuff in literally every day. I went there twice on different
days, and found some neat deals both times.

        08:00-16:30, Monday-Friday only, minimum purchase $20.00, and you need to
sign the visitor log and wear a visitor badge while looking around. Other
than that, enjoy!
