A long time friend of mine, since highschool, worked in one of Canada's
largest Telecomcompanies and he used to get nice, not too old,
computers for both of us from the back rooms where they were waiting
to be 'recycled'. Technically they were not to be removed but there
were hundreds of IBM systems 2 or 3 years old and he could sneak out
the odd items.. Saved me a lot of money at a time when an IBM computer
cost about as much as a new economy car..
