Fellow Techies,
I've said it on my web site, and I'll say it here: Scrounging is not so
much ongoing acquisition as it is a 'flow-thru' of goodies. Any tech-scrounger
will eventually hit the point where they Just Need To Move Stuff Out.
Such is the case with me right now, so I'd like to take a moment here to feed
back to the same 'techie food chain' that I've benefited from for so many
moons.
Specifically: I've got the following FREEBIES available for PICKUP ONLY, NO
SHIPPING in Kent, Washington. The only condition I place on the stuff is that whoever
takes it needs to be taking it to USE IT, not to sell it for scrap.
--HP DraftMaster SX Plus large-format pen plotter, in excellent condition.
Includes a whole slew of pens (condition unknown, but they've been kept capped in an
indoor environment) and two packages of big paper (including a pack of Size D sheets).
This item is not that heavy, and it is on wheels, but it is bulky and tall. You will need
at least a small pickup truck with an open bed to move it properly.
--Compaq ProLiant 6500 server with twin Pentium Pro 200's. This was the box
that was originally running my FTP archive (I've since upgraded to a later model of
ProLiant). Working condition, 512MB RAM, and I think I could find a pair of rack slides
and maybe even enough 4 gig drives to make a small array if you twist my arm enough.
--A pair of Sun SPARC-10 systems with at least 50MHz HyperSPARC CPU modules
installed. These used to run part of my Internet presence before I upgraded to HP
NetServers, so I know they work. RAM and hard drives included (though I will need to wipe
the drives before they're taken as they still contain security-sensitive data).
If you'd like any or all of the goodies (hopefully all in one swell foop?),
just drop me a line. Keep in mind that I don't currently subscribe to the CCTech or
CCTalk lists, so you'll need to let me know via direct E-mail.
If, for whatever reason, your E-mail bounces you can give me a buzz on
253-639-2996.
Thanks in advance for helping me find this stuff a good home.
