Since I don't have clue about "what" we found, I will just set the stage
for John and Marvin, by highlighting my PIVOTAL role....
TRW strictly enforces no sales after 11:30 am, which clears the place out,
and gets a lot of people setting out free stuff. Our happy band was about
to go our various ways, and on my way out of the lot I spotted some 8"
drives. "PDP 11" was all I needed to read to know I should run after John
and drag him over (OK I barely kept up with him, but still). Not 50 feet
from his spot were a couple of guys with a bunch of
stuff. No idea how we
missed it initially. (leaving it to others to describe).
I resisted going through the half dozen old PCs, but did grab a storage box
full of 5.25 floppy discs. In case Marvin is wondering, the crazy guy
running behind his car and waving was me with a couple tray things of paper
tapes. For me it was the best of all possible events, I find some neat
stuff, and other people carry it off to fill their dwellings instead of
mine.;) Fun day and good to see all the people who came out.
