On the prowl for computers at home (Wellington, New

greased my way into a tour around a storage room of a banking centre. I
was greatly excited to discover a frightfully large IBM (if memory
serves, an S/390) with its face turned to the wall. On enquiry of
possibility of my relieving them of this waste of storage space the chap
told me that he wasn't sure why I'd want a water heater.
Unfortunately, after explaining to the fellow why it was most definately
not a water heater, the chances of picking it up become very remote.
They never explained to me why they'd put the machine in storage either
:/
Rule number one: never tell them what they've got.
