DRMO is the group at a US military base responsible for taking care of
surplused equipment. Some of it ends up being auctioned, for example,
through web sites like www.govliquidation.com. Some of it ends up
disposed of as scrap.

Subject: RE: US Gov't/Navy DEC clearout
Hi folks,
Got this from a contractor working for the navy; how he found me before
he
found any other place that collects DEC stuff I don't know :)
Replies to email address he's given me (suttonmr(a)navair.navy.mil),
particularly as I don't know what the DRMO is! Pity there won't be any
disks
in that haul 'cos I could really do with some RZ29Bs....oh well.
'Course, it
might also just be PCs.

the DRMO, but you'd have to pick them up and ship them personally.

12:53 p.m.
Around 1 yr. ago the Postal Service had skids and skids of DEC and HP and
many other computers. Most were sold at $30 but some went for $20.
Kbd and mouse included.
Monitors were $45.00.
They sold them due to downsizing of the P.O.
There were even some Mac stuff. I got a super Apple laser printer for $40
without a cartridge. ($45 on ebay.)
Eventually they had to vacate the building(an old P.O. processing center
that was sold) and they scrapped around 200 misc. computers. Just dumped
them.
8:06 p.m.
They sold them due to downsizing of the P.O.
Actually, I'd seen at our local post office, in about that time frame,
they were putting in a new, more modern, POS type system
