[rescue] Need to get rid of my sun collection

[Robert Reif]

I have 3 or 4 banker boxes of sun software in their original boxes.  I 
also have 3 or 4 banker boxes of sun hardware and software manuals and 2 
FEMs.

I have a few dozen sgi CDs and some sgi educational material in binders 
from classes I took at sgi.

I probably have a lot more but I haven't gotten to it yet. I have 2 
weeks to get everything moved out of my office.  I will have a better 
idea of what I have then.
