I brought my 3b1 into work to transfer some software (work is a long distance call from home, and only has a 1200baud modem) While my machine was there, some nudnick tossed or otherwise lost my shipping carton. Since the carton has special inserts for the weird shape of the 3b1, I have been trying to get a replacement carton with no success. Does anyone out there have a original shipping carton for the 3b1 that they would be willing to part with? Let me know, I'd really like to use my machine at home instead of letting it rust at work!

If your company is technology based and your location has enough people, I'd bet that they have one of those machines that squirts the liquid foam into the box. You open up a shipping carton of the appropriate size, squirt in some foam, lay in a sheet of plastic, before the foam solidifies you put in your PC; then you lay on another sheet of plastic, squirt in some more foam, scrape off the excess, and seal the box. I've shipped UNIX-PCs all over the country this way without any problems that could be attributed to the packaging. Joe Wood lznv!jlw
