Sweet. Where are the bins? I don't recall seeing them. I did see the modems and other goodies, but no bins. > We need a large supply of twist-ties (like they have on loaves of > bread) for tying up loose cables.

That way we can sell the extras and free up some room. >> - Determine how much we need: What's our average outgoing rate for >> systems?

Excellent. I'll stay late on Saturday, too, to lend a hand. We can load up my truck and I'll deliver the non-usable items to WITS on Sunday.
