Wow..... I feel like I have extra credibility now or something: I've gone dumpster diving with John Hoff(man)

Ah, CMU. I got my first Mac from there when a department upgraded and the old ones were unworthy of grad student TAs and postdocs. When I worked there, I built my own computer lab with discarded PCs, Sun workstations, cabling and tape drives.

These days I wouldn't know how to sort the good stuff from the useless junk.

Mmm... there's nothing like dumster diving at the end of the semester at CMU. You can find all sorts of stuff.

I kinda miss dumpster diving. I used to go every weekend, but tapered off when my house filled up with junk. Now I've gotten rid of most of the junk, time to start again.
