Speaking of "throw-outs" and "dumpster diving",
A hospital in Billings Montana *was* going to send over 100 complete
systems to the "trash heap".
Thanks to the efforts a few people at that hospital... I will be getting
about 30 to 40 of them. (for free, just pay for shipping)
See attached inventory.

Subject: used computers -- final inventory
X-UIDL: 2e9f441bcea8b0a534318d5e95297d05
[this notice is sent to all members on the list]
Hello, folks!
After spending four and one half hours at the hospital warehouse
today, I finally have completed our detailed inventory of used
computers. I've given special attention to the PS/2, PS/ValuePoint
and Pentium PC sections. You'll notice there's a *lot* of additions to
the numbers, some new models and other surprises. Of course, I have
all of your recent selections, and now I would encourage you to
finalize any last minute decisions -- and especially if you're one
of those who haven't said anything yet -- please do so now, since
this notice will be your last chance!
Dave, our shipping and receiving man, gave me a rough estimate of
what the cost of shipping 10 lbs via UPS ground would cost -- to, say,
the East Coast of the USA from Billings, Montana: about $7.36. One
of the 8085 servers, for example, weighs about 40 lbs., so that would
be approximately $30.00 to ship one of those. But that's just one
option. I suppose there are cheaper shipping alternatives, and if
any of you have any suggestions, please let me know. We should try to
find the cheapest, yet safest, method of getting these systems out to
you.
If you are in a foreign country, I have no idea what your customs and
duties will be, so you'll have to find that out and decide whether or
not it's worth it -- or even if it's legal!
After counting everything, I came up with *113* computers -- and if
you folks don't mind too much -- I've decided to preserve just *one*
old XT for myself (out of "historical" interests, mainly) -- as sort
of a reminder of how BIG BLUE (IBM) began the march of the PC era. I
hope that's ok with everyone! (There's still one XT available, by the
way.) So this makes the count 112. Oh dear! Do we have a lot to
pack! *That's* going to be the *BIG* obstacle -- hopefully we'll be
able to get enough volunteers to get it done sooner than later, or
I'll be taking *much* longer to do this by myself!!
Finally, I should now ask those of you who are committed to send me
your addresses so that we can begin calculating your costs at a later
date.
And now, the FINAL INVENTORY..............
