For those who have never witnessed the diversity and chaos that has been
Paxton's warehouse, pictures taken today during the auction are available at:

The last few are shots of the collective bootie that the local gang took out.
(and yes, its as chaotic as it looks in the pictures!)
I'll probably arrange it into a more normal web page in the next few days.

For my part, I managed to nab a pair of HP 1000F minicomputers (CPU
cabinets only), a Tek 4006 terminal, a DEC TU-81+ tape drive and RA-81 hard
drive, a Freiden computerized postage scale, a case of toner kits for DEC
LN-03/Scriptwriter printers, a Tektronix Type 230 'Digital Unit', an
HP-9000 computer, a DEC MINC-11, and some other assorted goodies.

20 points extra if you can tell us why the unit in this picture:

had enough significance to rank fairly high on my 'nab' list...

More to come...
