University of Washington surplus sale? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

29 Apr 1998

If this is the same University of Washington that hosts classiccmp... it's
likely that Bill Whitson would have gotten them before any of us even had a
crack at 'em.  Possibly before the surplus people even got 'em, so there
would be no record... vaguely, I mean VAGUELY I remember something about him
getting Teraks... but I could have been dreaming.

 I found a somewhat stale lead (last November) on
three or four
Terak computers that were sold at the monthly University of Washington
surplus sale.  Is there anyone on the list familiar with this sale? 
And then several people posted "tell me more".  All I know is
I found a mention via a search engine of three Teraks that were
about to be tossed to their surplus center, and when I called
the surplus center (University Surplus Property Warehouse, 206-685-1573)
they said they auction 60-70 pallets of computers each month, so
they had no recollection of these Teraks.  Someone in the UW area
must've got them!  I hope they're not dumpstered.  I also hold a
slim hope that they weren't sold, and are still for sale.

See my web site for an image of a Terak.  Find them and send
them to me.  :-)
