must have cost them 50 times that to ship them back
from Germany
The BIIN computers we scrapped were originally air freighted from Germany. We
opend the crates and took them apart. They were brand new, but Intel and
Siemens didn't want them out there. This was a certified destruction contract
otherwise I would have kept one. I already had all the SW. I bet the cost to
scrap ratio was more like 5000 to 1. Siemens lost a bunch of money on that
project. (Intel owned 5% and Siemens 95%.)
