[misc.wanted] need shipping carton for 3b1

kak@stc-auts.UUCP (Kris Kugel) (02/03/88)

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!

Try the shipping department where you 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.
