Where i come from (an insignificant pair of islands off the coast of
Antarctica), i managed to equip quite a reasonable workshop largely
by haunting auctions, clearance sales etc. I now find myself in the
(bloody cold bit of) USA, and perusing things like the auction column
of the Sunday paper reveals...Sod All...(other than dozens of antique
auctions - boring), now given that there is probably more high tech
going on in a 1 mile radius of where i am than ther was in the whole
of NZ, WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THE LEFTOVERS ?. I've heard of gov't
auctions, but how does one find out about them ? What about 3M?
Honeywell?IBM?CDC? the list could go on and on. Any enlightenment
would be welcome
cheers
	Mike.
