[time-nuts] manuals, anyone?

[Pete Lancashire]

I was under the understanding that the owner, a school wanted to
dispose of multiple
cabinets of manuals, and that they didn't want them back.

My guess is if they can't dispose of them in one operation without any
paperwork they
will become regurgitated corrugated box feed stock.

I've seen it happen, some suit gets pissed and the contents are gone.

At least get them off school property, then decide the next step.

If so, I'll even offer to toss in a few $'s to help with the first step.
