That kind of thing just burns me up. I was working on a project for the
state of Maryland, I watched them take a large truck load of computer stuff,
mostly real junk but lots of things that could be put to very good use get I
cried over a Micropolis RAID tower with new 4 GB drives in it, dumped in the
parking lot, then run over by a huge rubber tire loader, scooped up into a
dump truck and hauled to the landfill.

I asked about that, they said they can't give any of it away cuz it might
look like they are favoring somebody over someone else.

Friggin nonsense
