Post by FlyingPenguin »

In a strip mall in a small Oklahoma city, a treasure of software and hardware sits gathering dust.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

I would love to walk around in there and grab a few items. In some photos I see beige box equipment, new in boxes.

I have the feeling that much of the hardware would still work too. The media would be hit or miss.

They could auction off the working computers and probably get a few dollars. There are several researchers and machinists that still use computers that old.
