The story said they've been around since 1997.  They sound very well
established and have what sounds like a substantial operation (80
employees).  Expect a very corporate warehouse type setting.  You'll
probably want to befriend the operations manager and let him/her know
you're interested in rescuing mainframes and stuff that come through.
Unless they're dicks they'll probably be really receptive.  The founder of
the company sounded like a really nice guy and would probably be happy to
help save history.
