  I think I took a part-time job in Hell today. A non-profit corp who
funds its computers-for-children program by "salvaging" donated
equipment. That means selling most of it by the pound. I'll be working
for trade, for a while.

  If anybody wants, there is, for its worth as scrap:

  1 Sun 2/120 system unit. Looks intact.

  2 AS/400 cabinets, I _think_ 9404 models. One intact, one missing
        an expansion board (or bulkhead covers). Too dark to read the
        badges & labels. More details tomorrow

  1 IBM rack - Says it's part of a phone system. Behind a large
        deteriorating box, so all I could see was an 8" floppy drive
        unit, and what looked like a 3/4" tape drive.

  2 Pallets PS/2 Model 77. Probably 40-60 machines

  1 Pallet PS/2 full towers. Pallets were already shrinkwrapped, so
        I couldn't further ID them.

        Both lots of PS/2 equipment may already be gone.

  Not headed for the crusher, 'cause "That's VINTAGE stuff!!"

  2 Large (42"x42"x42") deteriorating cardboard boxes of Tandy &
        Commodore equipment. Unsorted, and not well packed. OK, not
        packed at all, in any real sense. He knows it's worth money,
        but he ain't sure what it is.

  The main problem is that I don't have the wherewithal to even ship
anything bigger than the model 77s. I can probably get the bigger stuff
put on hold, but if you want it, you'll need to arrange pickup &
shipping. His prices are literally by the pound.

  On the Brighter Side:

        *I* will be making out like the proverbial fat rat.
