Ack! Finally someone who can use the hundreds upon hundreds of these data
carthridges that I've been hoarding at work for years (well, one at least)
in the hopes that someone, some day will speak up and say they can use
them!

Quick, tell me if you need them and I'll go grab them. As soon as I read
your post, Murphy's Minions (the little gervils that carry out Murphy's
Laws) began disposing of those carthridges. They were probably ordered to
be dumpstered last week, but last time I was through there they were all
over the place.

HURRY! Tell me you need them! Don't let all my work be in vain. Just
pay for shipping.
