    And take 10 month to staples for an extra $20! (cartridges)

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    What a long day...time for a beer...not even half done!

    Here's my work day, mostly, in pics.

    Favorite discoveries of the day:

    Many of these laser printers have ram cards in them, I love the laser boxes, most of these had T1 Ethernet boxes/boards, got over 30 laser cartridges combined with other cartridge sets inside each for color laser printers and most of them had paper so...I got almost a reem of free print paper too! It's rare for auction lots to include MOST of the cords for all these guys. There were 20 cords total...most with gold pins...yahoo. I'm bushed...

    Thanks guys. Have a good one.

    If all or most had cartridges you probably would have enough ink to last quite a while if one worked.

    they mostly did off gov't, most of those got turned in simply because somebody wanted a new one. I had some last for a long time
