Bye-bye $$$

[Watson A.Name \"Watt Sun]

We have five "old" (1996) compaq proliant 4500 servers sitting by the
door at work, waiting to be taken to the boneyard. Just for the
halibut, I looked up the property tag on our database, and it showed the
original cost was almost 23,000 dollars apiece. Wow, almost a hundred
thou going to the scrapyard! And only 6 years old.

Proliant 4500's? Geez Loo-eeez, what a waste! They make great web,
mail, and other such servers. NetBSD runs great on 'em!

Don't just let 'em sit there.... Tell us where you are! Someone
(myself included) would probably be happy to 'rescue' them.

Oh, FYI -- you cross-posted your original message to an
alt.binaries group. I'm sure it was an honest mistake.

And you want to know the really funny part? Put them up under Linux,
or FreeBSD, and they will still run fast enough to be very useful as
servers.

Under Winblows, they are obsolete.... Just because Bill says so.

If his Billness says so, it's the will of the Bill. Ratch

Whittier, what state? I checked and I see CA, NC, NH, AK, FL, and IA. Too
bad it's not near MI or I would have been interested.
