If I'm remembering what Adam is thinking of (and I'm pretty sure) there
was a batch of equipment that came in: there were two p166s I believe, one
was rehab'd and given to a broke college student (not me) and the other
was later determined to be DOA. There was also a p233 with a dead
motherboard, and two mini-towers; one with a socket-7 mobo sans processer,
and one with no mobo. There were some junk 15 inch moniters that joined
the heap in one of Stan's vans. But no pIIs..
I know that, at least while I was there, APULUG recieved nothing better
than that. There were a couple compaq pentium 90s in use that, IIRC,
originated from one of the regulars.

Been there. Believe me, I've been there... ask my mom, or Stan's wife.. =)
Look at it this way, if you let go of the 486s, you open up space for
things like HP Apollo 710s or Sparcstaion IPXs to enter.. *sighs* okay, so
I haven't kicked the old-hardware habit yet.. *grins*
