Oh Yeah!

Local pickup only, no location given.

Some poor school district could really use these.

Hmmm... what's creepier... the fact they had that on there, or the fact that you are looking at it?

Well, if 1,200 IBM Thinkcentre's isn't enough, how would 5 tons of keyboards do?

A sane person, maybe...?

I sure as hell wouldn't spend $42,000 on computers. I can get them for free.
