My Boss Donated the Used Pseries Server
The local library was looking for a used pseries server to use in their computer lab. I guess that they had been given a grant to purchase twenty more computers but did not have the money for a new server. I started looking in the paper to see if I could find anything like that but only found used bladecenter servers.
I called and spoke with the head librarian to see if the used bladecenter server price would be feasible for them. She explained that it was a little more than they were able to spend on a server. So, I went back to the drawing board. I then found a used bladecenter server online but it was more than the one in the paper.
About a day after I stopped looking for a used pseries server that the library could afford, I found one. My boss sent out an email that explained how our computers would be down over the weekend because we were installing new servers. I was shocked to find out that our old ones were for sale, and they were the used pseries servers that the library was looking for. When I told my boss, he donated one to the library free of charge. I knew that they could afford that.
