        Actually, I was thinking about the other stuff in the
storeroom these were in...as there were a good dozen of them plus
lots of other stuff...and there was a large bubblejet color printer
of some kind in there and if I recall correctly it was either from
Kodak or Cannon. It was larger than a normal table saw...the thing
was huge! There were also a couple of Quadra's and a few PM 8500's
as well as what appeared to be an early Sony CDR in a large pizza-box
style case. Anyway, there were a couple of 488 cables coming out of
the pile near the printer. I'll have to take a closer look at it all
either tomorrow or Monday...maybe even try to power up on of the
IIfx's.
