A source tells me the current plan is to sell the UGA
Cyber 960 being
decommissioned in Athens, for scrap. Anybody here interested in trying to
save it? Hate to see it scrapped. There can't be that many of them left.
The University System doesn't dispose of surplus property itself in the
State of Georgia. This is handled by the Department of Administrative
Services. Normally, if no qualifying org. or local govt. puts in for it,
it goes to periodic auctions in Atlanta, Albany ( I think), and
Swainsboro. The last is about an hour's drive from me.
A non-profit museum, educational org, or research inst. stands the only
realistic chance of getting hold of this kind of stuff before it's
dismembered, manuals and software lost, and scattered out to scrap
auctions. It's highly doubtful it'd be sold as a complete system, but I
could be wrong, so I'm looking into the possibility of setting something
up, or finding an existing party which qualifies, preferably in the state,
or at least the Southeast. Let me know if you're interested in putting
heads together on this.
Thanks,
