in Savannah.  He's got a ton of 486s, low end pentium, right now he's got
lots of SCSI stuff, printers,  about 300 monitors etc.  It's all
may-or-may-not work stuff, but last time I bought from him I got 10 WYSE
xterminals w/monitors, 3 HP Laserjet IIIs, 3 HP server cases with various
and sundry motherboards, about 10 1 GB SCSI drives, a SCSI CDROM, and god
knows what all else for $300.  A Volvo wagon and a pickup truck full of
stuff.

486/66 motherboard and chip for $2.  Linux geek's bonanza.  I can pick up a
whole bunch of stuff and arrange to get it whoever is interested if you want
to tell me what you're looking for, or I can give you directions if you are
able to get to Savannah in the next day or two.  Thing is, he scraps out
most of it, especially the low end stuff, so you have to hurry up or you'll
find that you *could* have gotten this excellent deal but he's already
pulled the chip and memory and sold it for scrap.

this is a great place to get stuff for it.   The real geek in me just
writhes in pain to see all this perfecty working stuff be scrapped when poor
children in africa NEED LINUX!!  ;)
