this is going to need a big cleanup and slowly working through the hardware to see what needs tlc but, for now, here is the NeXT haul

from left to right and top to bottom:

- 17-inch MegaPixel monochrome hi-res monitor
- three non-ADB keyboards and matching mice
- NeXT External SCSI CD-ROM
- NeXTStation
- NeXTStation
- NeXTStation Turbo
- NeXTStation Color
- NeXT SoundBox (a glorified speaker)
- (2) NeXT Laser Printers

of all of it, i'm most excited about the monitor and the soundbox. this is the very rare N4000A monitor which has a crt tube that lasts *much* longer than the original design which dims after extended use

the soundbox - well, 馃槄 i never imagined i'd find one in the flesh in my lifetime

A big pile of solid black computer equipment. 

To the left is a 17-inch monitor. In the middle four black pizza-shaped boxes are stacked.

To the right, two large black laser printers have a black speaker sitting on top of them.

also rescued were these original diskettes

i'm not sure if Maple V and Mathematica for NeXT were ever preserved, but i'll totally see if the disks are still good and make backups to IA

i can only imagine how happy the graduate students were to torture undergrad MATH 210 students with these. these all came from a university of alberta department
