OK.  With all this talk about the old venerable 7925 and 7933 disc
drives, it makes me realize that I still have a pair (a master and a
slave) of 7925s sitting here in a corner with boxes stacked on top of
them.  They're left over from a 3000/42 that we sold years ago, and
were fully operational when they were disconneted.  I think I even
have the manuals for them!

We're going to be relocating our offices in a few weeks, and it makes
no sense to move them.  Thus a few questions...

- Does anybody want them?  They're your's if you pay to get them
delivered to you.  (We _might_ [read: probably not] even be willing
to share in the cost if you can offer a good home and there's not too
much cost involved.)

- Assuming nobody wants them (or parts of them), what should I do w/
them?  A few ideas come to mind...

     - Haul them to the junk yard for scrap metal.
     - Sell them for "precious metal".  (Is there any in it???!)
     - Leave them in the old building and let the new occupents
figure out what to do w/ them.   (hehehe)

Being the pack rat that I am, and a long-time, loyal HP customer,
it's difficult to think about simply hauling them off to the junk
yard.  Seems like they at least deserve a burial or something!

Now I'll sit back and wait for those "creative" (or real) suggestions
to start coming my way from the list.  :-)
