Data General Eclipse being scrapped

Greetings,

A few minutes ago, I discovered that I received the following message.
Can anyone help to save these machines? While I'd love to have a DG
Eclipse, have wanted one for years---which was the first largish
system that I was ever paid to work with, there's no way that I can
get to N.Y. to retrieve then, but perhaps someone else on the list can
save these systems from being scrapped. Alas, there isn't much time to
rescue them, so time is of the essence; I wish I'd seen this e-mail
yesterday.
