> A computer recycling firm is suing the city of St. Laurent for
>$36 million, saying the municipality destroyed millions of dollars
>in computer parts when it sent backhoes into the company's
>warehouse.
> Backhoes broke through the garage doors of A1 Vente Ordinateurs'
>building on Stinton St. on Thursday morning, the lawsuit says.
>The machines then used their shovels to scoop up computers stored
>inside and drop them into waiting dump trucks.

<Cringe> There goes a LOT of DEC gear!

If the following works it will give an idea of what they had:

Note, that URL might note be intact :^)

On the other hand they're not someone I would do business with. I do not
do business with SPAMMERS. I've been spammed by them before after posting
in a DEC newsgroup. They also regularly SPAM newsgroups.

Still, all that DEC hardware gone :^(
