They're not *that* common. It took me a while to find my first even out
here in HP land. And they're pretty historic: HP's first laptop (1983),
and one of the first clamshells.

I talked to a guy a few weeks ago who found two at work and tagged them
"DON'T TOUCH THESE UNTIL YOU CHECK WITH ME". The next day he was just
seconds too late to pull them out of the crusher. I almost cried :-( I
think they also destroyed an early Wang programmable.
