Colleagues,

I found a bunch of Akro-Mils plastic cabinets (perfect for small 
components) and a rolling cart thing on the street. Like this:

Once I washed the blood off--and I'm not kidding about that--they've 
been great. No idea what had happened to them, and they don't answer 
questions when I ask. Probably an Elmore Leonard story in there, somewhere.

Thanks,

Ole
