A computer recycling firm is suing the city of St.
Laurent for
$36 million, saying the municipality destroyed millions of dollars
in computer parts when it sent backhoes into the company's
warehouse.
Backhoes broke through the garage doors of A1 Vente Ordinateurs'
building on Stinton St. on Thursday morning, the lawsuit says.
The machines then used their shovels to scoop up computers stored
inside and drop them into waiting dump trucks.
<Cringe> There goes a LOT of DEC gear!
If the following works it will give an idea of what they had:

Note, that URL might note be intact :^)
On the other hand they're not someone I would do business with. I do not
do business with SPAMMERS. I've been spammed by them before after posting
in a DEC newsgroup. They also regularly SPAM newsgroups.
Still, all that DEC hardware gone :^(
