When corporations surplussed these units they pulled sleds and drives and threw them into the crusher. They were more concern make sure any and all data stored on the HD were destroyed. Not on resale value, since by now most had written off the equipment.
David, I am not sure if I agree with you on the how many have them part. When we got into them, that ws true, no doubt at all. But they have come down in price a very long ways since then, have been more complete units, and also have migrated down for people from work. As you have seen, there are a lot more people on this forum talking about GOS units than Snap OS units anymore. GOS units were almost unheard of on here when we got them.
