As reported at amiga.org:

Seems to be a list of useful but dated PCs, printers and furniture with a few PDAs thrown in.
I guess they will be most upset by the loss of the foosball table.

Amiga Inc auction items : Comment 28 of 70 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bernd Meyer on 04-Jun-2003 10:50 GMT | In reply to Comment 13 (Anonymous): As a (loosely relevant) point of reference --- a couple of years, Australia's second airline (Ansett) went tits up. And about 9 months or so ago I bought a used SGI Indy at an auction place like the one running the Amiga auction --- with all the software still on the hard drive. It was quite evident that nobody had made any attempt to wipe any data.And while I haven't been to the auctions in a few months, I'd estimate a 500MHz Celeron to go for about US$ 50-100. Hooking the machine up to power and a monitor, and wiping the hard drive, takes a lot of time, and thus money. And the landlord probably couldn't care less about AI's IP, but *does* care about getting as much money back as possible.So I certainly wouldn't count on hard disks being wiped. |
