I've seen a lot of that. Fortunately, most of the schools around here usually auction off their surplus equipment. About the only exception is with equipment gotten as grants. There's some stupid rule that they can't sell the stuff, so when it becomes obsolete it sits in a closet for a couple of decades until someone can get clearance to dispose of it, at which point it usually wind up in a dumpster. When St. Petersburg (Junior) College got rid of their DEC PDP-11/70 minicomputer I could have had it for the price of hauling it away. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, I didn't have a place to put it, so it went into the dumpster. What really sucks is that they didn't even recycle it.
