I've never been there so I don't know for sure, but if he just had 
10,000 cables he wouldn't really need to have bought a 4000sqm building :-)

His online catalogue is obviously incomplete: his prized VAX-11/780 
doesn't seem to be there for a start (at least not under the most 
obvious entries I looked at).
