In other words, it's in the Middle of Nowhere :) These guys have been trying to find takers for a while now, and dare I say they are a bit clueless. I gave up trying to work with them after the third time they e-mailed me the list of items in some proprietary word processor format that I couldn't decode. I guess they've never heard of plain text (even though I asked them twice to send it as such :) I've tried calling a couple times but never connected over the phone, so I gave up. The big problem is going to be shipping. I spent some time down there a few years back working at a customer site, and getting stuff shipped in was a hassle. UPS and Fedex only delivered a couple times a week back then. Perhaps service has improved some but I doubt it. The nearest big town is Douglas, about 20-25 miles to the east on the Mexican border. The only thing of real interest for me was a SuperPET. They do have some nice stuff though, including some PETs and S-100 machines, and it would be a damn shame if they ended up throwing everything out. Probably the easiest thing is for someone to rent a truck and drive out there and load it all up. A lot of the expense could be recouped by selling the stuff here on the list or on eBay. But I really don't think there is enough there to justify the expense monetarily. Here's the list again in case you missed it the first time: --- Here is a fairly complete list of the old computer stuff that we have which is available to the highest bid. We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) educational institution, we have just obtained a old elementary school which was being used by the school district to store old things from every school, so there is a large variety of things. We don^Òt know their condition exactly, or whether they work. Sold in ^Óas is^Ô condition and you pay the shipping (or come get them). We really need a roof - would trade the whole lot to a roofer for a roof, or piece it out to whom ever would love it. **If you are in the USA your contribution would be tax-deductible!
