The boards are outside in plastic covered boxes; surely no worse than when I removed them from my car's trunk. :-) I just hope the old 1970's era HP keyboard is ok; I just remembered that it's in on of those boxes too. At this time, I'm still recovering from cleaning up over 100 Sun VME-bus boards nearly four years ago that were filled with dust, dirt and spiders (the former owner kept the boards in a big stack under his front porch), although the biggish spiders have returned, and are now in my garage and basement. As to the CDC boards: lesson learned. Clean up any spilled keep horse feed in a car trunk that has rust-holes in it, large enough that much smaller four-footed critters, that squeak, might get through... and don't leave computer equipment in the trunk.
