[sdiy] Major Score in the Dumpster at work!

Remembers me of my AMD times... When a customer went bancrupt the
returning chips had to be destroyed since they have been already booked
as a loss.

Thanks to the janitor (who had to do the cruel work of destruction) I was
able to get some piles of EPROMs and MACHs here and there - promising that
they will never ever enter the market again.

I've been told that that destruction game is played in electronics stores
as well - if e.g. TV sets don't sell (not even at dumping prices) they
just have to be destroyed.

Business obeys strange rules.
