This is all great stuff to have for the test lab, and since I am the hardware
tinkering type I will probably even fix that Colorado if possible, or use
it for spare parts when/if another unit shows up here.  

Please check with me before expanding this list, as some things I may
classify as simply junk that would not be worth the shipping charges
for and/or may be duplicated parts.  Also old motherboards with out
CPU chips are pretty useless to me, I already have a pile almost 3 feet
high of them.  Any an all old 386SX16 or faster CPU chips would be
good, as I could reserect a few MB from the junk pile (these are good
boards, they are pull outs from doing system upgrades).

You too ehh??  Well, I just moved, so all the closets got cleaned and
the stuff is getting organized as I unpack it all.  I have moved many many
times over the last 10 years and am unboxing stuff that has been in
boxes for this whole time.  It is nice to finally have a place I can get
all my stuff out and actually know where it is and use it when I need
it.

Again, thank you for the first sizeable contribution to the FreeBSD Test Lab!!
