Surplus is already looking into this. It would be their responsibility to coordinate an effort such as this. ********************************* Boyd Shumaker, C.P.M., A.P.P.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not volunteering anyone for this duty, as I know anything like this would require a lot of work and effort to make happen. I guess what I'm really asking this audience is, could you get behind this idea or is it a waste of time and effort to consider this when eventually, a lot of this kind of equipment would be replaced with new gear?

It is my understandly, subject to correction, that university departments are required to send everything to surplus for disposal.
