I work for a company in Grand Forks, ND (RMI, Residual Materials Inc."
that tears apart old computers for scarp (gold, silver, copper, alum, etc).

It's absolutely UNREAL the stuff we go through.  We have six truckloads
(big trucks, 18 wheel) coming in from Kansas next week.  Lotsa Univac 2000's,
big IBM 3nnn's and 4nnn's, System 34's, Intel monsters, etc.  Literally
acres and acres of mainframes, CRT's, keyboards, misc.

All to be attacked with an air-chisel and hammer.  Sorta makes a person
sick.
