Don't look at me.  If a working Challenge L or XL showed up at my house, 
I'd take pictures of the 4Runner climbing over it.  Or, I'd use it for 
target practice. ("Gee, how long will it stay up as I fill it full of 
lead?")

That's one computer that can, in my mind, vanish without a trace.  
Better a fridge than mucking up someone's data center...
