Who says familiy activities are extinct? ^_^

Yesterday, I spent all day at a customer's site, arguing with Windows NT.
God, I hate NT.

Anyway, I return to the office to clock out, call home, my mother answers.
I says, "Is my supper still there?" She says, "Yes, and hurry home, me
and your (little) sister went dumpster diving."

"Uh, WHAT?"

So, I go home. They scored 2 dead monitors, some miscellaneous System/36
disks, and 2 leased-line modems. So, I head out with them, to visit the
dumpster again. Turns out it was a grade school not too far away. Anyway,
I took some goodies, here's the highlights:

An Apple 2/E, in (seemingly) working order, but no floppy controller.
But it has the drives...

A Laser 128. No power supply. What's this?

IBM System/36 SSP and Microcode disks. Ohhh, yes.

The 2 leased-line modems - a small Gandalf model, and something else.

Miscellaneous 2e manuals. I have DOS disks and such elsewhere...

Anyway, what's the Laser, and can I do much with the Apple, even though it has
no floppy card? I suppose I have to RTFM...
