[Fmpro] Dumpster diving

	Hang onto that one!  Dumpster diving has its benefits!

	Back in the eighties, I earned my first IBM computer diving into a  
[insert name here] dumpster, where I found 35 cases of diskettes,  
three pallet jacks, and twenty VT 102 terminals, worth several  
thousand (1988) dollars.  I made a deal with the warehouseman, where  
he would just leave the discard on a pallet outside on the loading  
dock for me to pick up at night.  I had to rent a storage shed for  
all the stuff [inset name here] threw away.  I was making almost as  
much working for [insert name here] as I did pulling things out of  
their dumpster!
