Old hardware sources?

[Philip C Mendelsohn <mend0070@tc.umn.edu>]

OK, here's what I hope is an easy question:

I'm looking to find some old unwanted hardware:

Either one (or more) dumb terminals or
an ancient laptop -- doesn't need a hardrive, even!

All I want is the smallest physical dumb terminal I can come up with
(hence the laptop -- the screen (monochrome is fine) would be better for
my app than a CRT.)

Where is the best source for surplus stuff like this in the Cities?  I
used to know when I lived near some national labs, but am not that savvy
on being a packrat locally (probably a good thing, the way gear tends to
accumulate....)

Suggestions much appreciated!

Phil M.
