While I did not "Score" any Macs a friend of mine worked for this medical research company in the mid 90's - they did have a Mac network on coax.
Anyhow the owners acquired some stuff, soap stone counter top - about 12 feet, a chemical fume hood assembly, and other odds and ends, from Schering Pharmaceutical in Bloomfield NJ. The building had been abandoned for years after the township refused to allow extension in to the surrounding neighborhood. (Schering offered to pay %25 over market value for neighborhood housing but the dummies decided Hmm NO !! and lost the tax base when Schering pulled out all together [xx(] ]'> ) anyhow there were 7 buildings on site mostly inner connected from the original building - having been added onto over the decades ..... we were there 3 days, pretty much left to our own devices once we had been shown where our "stuff" was .... I know for most of one 12 hr day it was only the 3 of us, and I took full advantage of my exploration abilities, with Mag Lite in hand I went everywhere ....... there was a generator tied in to the freight elevator and some of the basement lighting but for the most part is was dark, no air moving and doz's of empty labs ..... some looking like school class rooms - 4 counters across the room, and cabinets on the walls ....... to labs in walk in coolers that were fairly air tight 9 it was creepy being in those ........ I scored a bunch of left over glassware, old VAX Manuals (should have grabbed the terminals that were left) - i was pretty much oblivious of how creepy the place was till the 2nd night when I had pretty much explored everything, and I was coming out of this one sealed lab (no Windows), when i realized it was getting dark outside ..... and I had a flash back to any number of creepy horror movies, and started looking around for the Zombies to come out ....... 8-o [xx(] ]'>
I also scored a couple of the Fire Escape Floor Plans I had planed to make into levels for the game Marathon ...... [
