Which auction? The Houston surplus people interpret the bill's text as

They send everything from a goldfish bowl Mac or Apple II to an AS-400 IBM
mainframe to the prisons. The bill is written quite vague too, I'll look
and see if I can find the link for it that I had.

University of Texas surplus auctions were a good
place to find old
gear up till Texas passed a bill regarding the sale of used computer
equipment from government agencies. Now they send all the old computer
gear to the prison system.
Hm. I got a *bunch* of classiccmp stuff from an University of Texas
auction earlier this spring. Maybe the prisons did not want the stuff.
