I can't resist the urge to comment on this briefly. You are absolutely 
right about the govt not having a monopoly on waste (or inefficiency, 
might I add, but that's another story). My boyfriend works for a fortune 
500 company and he's gotten the most unbelievable stuff from what would 
have gone into the garbage. Most of the stuff he takes isn't anything *I* 
can use, but I HAVE been a beneficiary of his "pack ratting" -- so far 
he's given me a hard drive and a CDRW. But, he keeps an eye on the 
"corporate dumpster" so to speak, and he says anything he finds there 
that I CAN use is mine.  ;-)
