One iMac g4 800Mhz in fine shape. Mostly unremarkable stuff, lots of pics and movies shot in Central America and lots of music in spanish. Note much in the caches and little else to poke around in. Maybe more details soon.
A Pentium 4 Compaq 1.6Ghz 512 RAM that has to be one of the ugliest computers of the recent era. It has Windows XP installed on a 70G HD, does not boot and had a Windows 2000 install cd in the tray. Hmmmmm. Had kazaa installed with this lot in the "My Shared Folder"

Machine was probably used by a whole family, many of whom are pictured in the photos and decribed in the resumes left on the HD. One is a very accomplished resume writer. Also they are Ukrainian in origin and hence had lots of cyrillic web stuff in caches. Here are some very language-like google searches made by the teenage girl of the household, we guess that some of these are homework but some of them are not. Can you guess which are which?

A cross-section of teenage girl stuff I guess, especially with the search for pro anorexia websites added in. 75 unique lyrics related searches also in the mix, etc etc. To finish here is a nice picture that was on the HD, in the mother of the family's space.
Wire basket at the side of the road in curbside garbage. Shown in pic fulfilling new duties, i.e. storing hard drives. Handy Dandy.
The mahogany we found turned out to be fancy porch floor planking. Some of it has already been deployed in the construction of this essential piece of hardware.
A tool chest (rusty and crappo) filled with a selection of interesting tools. Including but not limited to the following. A Remington powder gun thingy for blasting things into other things, some surface rust. We have no use for it so it is available.
Some solder. This stuff does not go bad and we are always running out of it.
A tasty selection of fanbelts. We tossed all the dry rotted ones and kept this sub-selection. These will be donated to an individual we know who has great need for a variety of these.
A set of valves hoses and torch for oxy-acetylene usage. The hoses are super long and may be in good shape. The valves and torch and pretty beat up. We will have to sinpect these for their potential usefulness.
Also present was a bit of scrap brass and copper, always handy in the sense that it turns into cash at some point.
A rather dubiously named bike, Free Spirit indeed. It is not the most fancy thing in the world but is in pretty good condition bar the missing tube on the front wheel. It also required an air impact wrench to get the back wheel off, interesting stuff. We threw on the nice wheels from that trashed Mongoose a while ago and it is ready to deploy into the custody of some distant family member's horrible offspring.
Some time ago we found a stainless steel rubbish bin, in the rubbish of all places, it probably showed up on this page. Or if not, should have been. The pedal never really worked due to overall cheapness of the mechanism and we just lift the lid all the time. A while ago we picked up a heavy aluminium pan for the scrap value and after we had chiselled the rivets off to toss the handles, the second handle had a use suggested for it. Pic shows it in action.
Raleigh LTD-3 bicycle in blue. This a is a classic made in Nottingham English bike in good condition. It has basically never been ridden, still the original tyres with a little dry rot but perfectly ridable. Chrome is all pretty good apart from on the optional extras, the speedo and kickstand fitted are crappo quality but functional. The chainguard is slightly kinky also, somebody may have hoofed it at some point. Brooks saddle (cheap version) also fitted. Rear luggage rack very useful.
Also with it was a small bag for of duplo, shown here draining after a wash. The colander we had already.
This coffee maker is the same as the one we have in our lab so the carafe is handy to have for a spare. As suspected the coffee maker itself does not work, bad heating element, so that will be tossed and the carafe stored in the lab for that fateful day when we break the other one.
