Re: Equipment info--IBM stuff

[Chuck Lundgren <lundgren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A 5363 is a S/36, a machine that IBM no longer manufactures. It runs SSP. 
The model you have is obsolete, and I don't think that even equipment 
resellers are buying them any more. Your best bet is to give all the 
hardware, including the old PCs, back to the folks who donated them to you. 
Although they may have thought they were doing the right thing, they 
basically got to avoid paying someone to take the equipment to the dump or 
metal recyclers.

PCs are dirt cheap. Have someone in your church do you a REAL favor and buy 
a new one for $700.
