I was visiting one of our service vendors today, and this
was the scene out front...

This is obviously in North America, but can you tell us what city and
state? And provide directions? Given recent posts, I'm sure someone
would be interested. (though not me)

Damn, wrong coast again. I told everyone they fell out of the sky,
maybe now they don't think I'm so crazy. What a shame, perhaps $1000+
sitting next to the dumpster (probably more if parted out). Why didn't
you haul it home?

Someone on the West Coast grab it and haul it inside before it rains ...
wait scratch that ... before a gang puts their graphitti all over it.

I think hepcat.org is pretty close .... maybe a quick trip
for cosmos in his beefy musclecar w/trailer attachment ?
Shall we tell him that they're going to put a Tux sticker
on the front and use the case for a Linux Farm ?

Good heavens. Wish there were companies like that round here. I know
it's heavy, but I'd drag it away.

Likewise,
and even if it was deader than a dead thing with a bit of conversion
work it'd make a fab garden shed.
