I can understand the hard drive issue. I used to live in Kentucky and I used to go to the
sale at Ft. Knox every month. It definitely was my favorite DRMO sale behind Columbus.
Quite often, the machines I received had "A LOT" of information on them that
although not classified, was certainly private.
It
Brian. was fun rummaging around all the lots of equipment with rounds of ordinance
blasting in the distance. I'll never forget on one of my best huals of equipment, I
wedged a Penske rental truck under one of the overpass's there. A couple of soldiers
help me let the air out of the tires and reinflate them when it was clear. Its hilarious
when I think of it now but when it happened......

I recently acquired a GRiD laptop (486 mono version) and it had the hard
drive in it and on it were some (non-DOD) files that shouldn't have been
left on the machine at all. They were classified but the IRS should empty
their machines before a field agent turns them in. I called the office I
bought it from, they checked records and had a person from the office that
had it contact me. I told them what was on it and that I would, without
fail, fully delete all info on the drive and that I wanted them to be aware
that things are leaving their office into the general public. I was thanked
by phone and a week later by mail with a check for $75 for my time and
effort in cleaning it up and preventing a possible disaster. Wanna bet
that's the first thing they look for when I get audited?

I doubt it. With all the bookmakers and other petty crooks your one time
$75 payment is some potatoes compared to what they are really after.

Yeah I know and I'm surpirised to this day that I even felt the need to
contact them but it was a fun experience anyway.

New subject: Withdrawn: Offer of system/36 parts (wet bar)
Please do accept our apology.
I was hoping for a Protect Board for my System/36 and one was offered by a
generous list member.
In hopes of keeping this system whole, I withdraw my offer of free
components.
Sincere apologies to anyone concerned.
Best wishes to all,
The Technoid
