The most effective means to stop them seems to be to contact the network and or system administrator where the emails originate from, and not even bother with the supposed "opt-out" stuff. Complaining to the right people does at least seem to slow those type of spammers down :) -Toth

They were basically RMA units, but the parts inside were still wrapped in their original plastic baggies. I don't know if they work, but between the three I now have, I should be able to get one working. The sad part of this story is that this guy had upwards of 300 of these things that someone was storing in a storage locker. Once the costs became too great to continue holding on to them, and being that there were not enough takers, the majority of them were scrapped! If I'd have known how many this guy had I would have taken them to the ACCRC where they could have been sold off one by one (or two by two) at $10 a pop maybe. The ones I bought were only $15 each. These supposedly came from a local printer retail and repair company called Printerworx. They apparently had some trade in deal years ago and all these NeXT printers were part of the result of the trade-in.
