Slashdot Mirror
Trojan Room Coffee Pot Auctioned Off
dlesko writes "The historic Trojan Room coffee pot at The University of Cambridge has gone to the highest bidder on ebay for £3,350.00 (that's about $5,055.20 USD based on the currency rates as of 8/12/01). You can see the results for about 90days. Now they just have to hope that the person actually comes through with the dough..." A fitting end to a net.legend. If I could figure out where Arial, my old DEC Alpha Multia that was the original Slashdot, I would auction that off and give the cash to the EFF (minus shipping a cost of a case of beer ;) Dave? Rosie? Where did that thing go? I know it was finally retired as the SMTP server... I probably should get it back someday ;)

If I'd known it would be worth that much, I'd have nicked it when I was working in the lab...
If you disagree, post your argument. (-1, Overrated) isn't your personal censorship tool for views you don't like.
The fact that you think that people would really care about the first slashdot box is a good indicator of how big some peoples egos have gotten. What you should be doing is making sure that you keep track of the current slashdot box. At least those will still have some actual street value when OSDN goes under and things goto the auction block.
No, it's not dead. It's resting.

Have you checked behind the dry wall?
