I've never heard of that before. I know that UH, UT and Rice hold
auctions to sell off old computers from time to time. One auction
at Rice is open to people in the University first and what's left over
is then offered to the public. Don't know for sure about any places
in D/FW.

I just called a local (Fort Worth, Texas) University,
asking about
surplus property, and they said that all Texas Universities are
required to turn their old computers over to the Texas Criminal
Justice (or something like that) Department. Has anyone else heard of
anything like this, or know why they have to do this? Does anyone in
the Dallas/Fort Worth area know of any Universities that sell surplus
property to the public?
Thanks,
