Free!  Wow, that's great!

What did they have inside computer related, anything?  Last time I was 
there they had an IBM System 36 and a few HP parts, some Apple // stuff 
and a few Macs, and various PC's that were plain garbage by even my 
standards.  I've been meaning to get back down, but just haven't had the 
time for a potentially wasted trip.  They don't seem to know much about 
computer equipment.  In fact, I think they even stated that to me at one 
time.
