Boeing Surplus

[Orsorum]

Hey, all: I'm going to be stopping by Boeing Surplus today, I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations for any cool things I can do with a relatively old system I could pick up from there... i.e. a Linux box, a small server, etc. Any ideas?

I think they're selling Pentium 200's or so now for their little tower systems.

If you see a 747 buy it for me and I'll Pay Pal you the $.

 

[Russ]

You could do like a lot of my competitors do. Wipe off the dust, load them up with illegal software, sell them to noobs, then go out of business so when it breaks and needs a Windows re-install, the poor sap who bought it brings it to me and I have to tell them they're out of luck because they have no disks and docs.

Or, you could build a Linux box.

Don't do PayPal; if you send a check, it's a deal.

Russ: thanks, but I'd rather not be your competitor. I pride myself on my quality rigs.

Good heavens... who was her specialist? (I got mine removed by a very skilled man in downtown Kent).

Kent is still the armpit stain of western Washington.

 

[Russ]

Gopunk,

You should have stopped in - as long as I didn't have to listen to any Dentist details.

yea, i thought about it, but then i realized i have no idea where you're located

you would have had a kick listening to my friend after her surgery... sounded like a 3 year old

are you near meeker? because that's where i was... after i dropped her off, i had breakfast at the mcdonalds there and bought some headphones from the big kmart.

i have no idea... but the building had some black windows or something. that's about all i remember. she said they didn't give her enough anesthetic, and they had to boost it twice.

Seattle ain't that bad. Lived in Kent all my life, I love Seattle so much more, 'cept for parking. Where do you work (just out of curiosity?)?

Hmm. If it's who I think it was, I think she'll be fine, despite her whining.

Yep, 524 West Meeker. (killing two birds, here).

Smart man.

 

[Russ]

Gopunk,

Brick building, right? I can see it out my window.

Russ, NCNE

 

[gopunk]

hmm i think it was brick. i know that it has some big black windows on it though.

so i take it you're with all the other businesses? safeway, burger king, mcdonalds, etc?

 

[Russ]

You were at the Kent Professional Center. Safeway, Burger King and McDonald's are west of where you were; the first about 3 blocks, the others about six blocks. I'm about 100 steps east.
