The 4066/XE's belong to the US Government. From what I understand,
when an agency excesses a machine it is up for grabs by any other
federal agency, then state agency, local government, schools etc.
until it is sold at GSA auction which is where you should look.

What (tell me please) are you/they doing with the XE's as they are replaced? I
would love to get sme parts such as a Pentium upgrade board to make it a
45xx/XE
as well as drive rails, hard drives, hard drive mounts, etc and I wouldn't
even
mind considering some for purchase if reasonable enough. Sure they are heavy
but
in the process of messing with this one I thought what agreat machine for a
local church group that runs 15-20 machines and has limited funds, to be able
to
run their homeschool machines with the same software available.
I guess I ought to take this to private email as well....
