I would like to get rid of the whole lot, located in Mt. Pleasant, SC. The mini-mainframe was last powered up in about 1995. Does this stuff have any value? Is there a market for it or for any of the parts? Do you have any serious suggestions re how I might get rid of it. I have already had several suggestions such as 1) take it all out to sea and dump it to form a mini-artificial reef; 2) construct a catapult and send it deep into the Hell Hole Swamp; 3) buy it a one- way bus ticket to somewhere far away; 4) offer it to any of the local college IT/computer science depts. to be used as yard art. The whole mess weighs about 700 lbs. I would love to see it get recycled or put into a good home if there is one. Any serious suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, Rick Hamrick
