 We have at work 2-3b2-400's and a 300 which are surplus.
 I called a used computer dealer (Computer Horizons) to get
a price.  He said that with the expected merger of the
ATT and NCR businesses, that  suddenly the WHOLE WORLD
is dumping these beast! He only "offered" $500 for three 3b2's
and three terminals.  Now I'm wondering if maybe I should take
these beast home (and give some to my employees).  What would the
net consensue be for these as a home computer? What is the MIPS
value? The version of th operating system is SYSV rel 2.2 I think.
Could a latest version be found and for how much? Do I really want
to do this or not? Suggestions?
