The correct term is "urinal CAKE" not cookie... it's that round thing in
urinals that is an air-freshener, etc. At least I believe thats what it
does... I sure as hell have no intention to sniff it to determine the
accuracy of this..

Urinal cakes are made of paradichlorobenzene (at least most of them
are) which is the same material from which mothballs are made. It soaks
up odor, but it doesn't "freshen" or scent the air, usually.

Perhaps not 'freshen' per se, but you sure as hell can smell mothballs
and, to a lesser extent because they are wet I suppose, urinal cakes.

My experience with mothballs, and this could be rather dated,
is that they leave their own unpleasant odor. I've had the
displeasure of unpacking stuff that had been packed with mothballs
for long periods of time, as in quite a number of years.

In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing this part of the thread DIE... it seems to
be a bit off topic. ;-)

New subject: IBM 1130 Update
Since I've receive *many* requests, comments, and questions about the IBM
1130 system, I've updated the page about the 1130 on the web site with a
bunch more information. Same place: www.bigoakhill.com, click on
ForSale.
thx,
