Saturday was definitely the day to go.
People offered me some stuff for free, because they
were going to dumpster it. But I gave them a couple of
dollars (usually the first price).
Although last year, a guy sent me a TON of HP Laserjet
IIp/IIIp parts for the cost of shipping. Which helped
me fix a couple that I have here.
I passed on a Power 100 (Power Computing PM8100 Clone)
for $10.00. It was a logic board and I/O board in a
case and PS with an FDD. No HDD or CD-ROM (though I
have plenty of those..). But, I already have one. And
didn't want to lug another home, just to have it sit
in a corner. But, I was tempted.. LOL!
I couldn't pass up the IIgs, and considering I have a
unit that exactly duplicates it, perhaps I should
have...
But, it will make a nice gaming machine to give to
someone and I have a few good games for it.
And considering I still do the occasional maintenance
on an educational program I wrote in the 80's, it's
good to have a backup unit.
Some people do leave stuff home, and remember to bring
it back on Sunday though. So, early on Sunday you can
find some things that weren't available on Saturday.
And the last hour is the best time for dumpster
diving!
LOL!
