Hey, I've got some equipment to go with those old HP boxes.
I thought I had them on the website, but they aren't there. Anyway, got
a bunch of Terminals, cabling and a coupla terminal controllers (3420
sound right?? I will check later).  I'll swap them to you for something.

I also have lots of cables (like v35, Cisco, network...).  Everyone,
take a look.  I will trade for monitors, misc hardware, small 5hp
engine, or whatever (or you can trade for money :) ).

My wife would much appreciate cleaning out the garage and basement!!
