Mr. Blondemoments company has 15 dumb terminals to give away.
They are all believed to be in working order, but are minus keyboards and cabling (one of his staff threw them in the bin!)
His company have just upgraded their computer system, so these are now surplus to requirements.
They did try to dispose of them at the local tip, but this proved to be too difficult due to the latest EU beaurocracy - basically it will cost £150 to dispose of them, and worse still, his company will have to register for Hazardous Waste Disposal - and all the trauma that will naturally go with that!
So basically, if anybody wants 15 dumb terminals (mostly Wyse make) and is prepared to collect them from Southampton (they can deliver locally), they can have them!

Alternatively, if anyone has any ideas as to how best to get rid of them (charitable donations didn't work!), please let me know!

Thanks

Jo

I can chuck in some RS232 cable, I'm sure someone here can find a serial backplane.

Don't suppose Mr Blondemoment works in the Insurance game does he?

Without keyboards & cabling they're not Dumb Terminals, they're Retarded Terminals.
