It seems to be thinning out here in Northern California. Used to see a lot
of IIe's. Now it's just a IIc, maybe a IIgs now and then. I think the bulky
stuff was disposed of sooner, now it's the smaller stuff that they are
getting around to tossing.
The deluge of stuff from schools is slowing to a trickle, too. Most of it
went in big chunks.
