Put the mainframe out to pasture!

I've been frustrated because I couldn't find a picture I took of the mainframe that my team and I put out to pasture in 2003.  It was essentially worth nothing at the time so it found its way to a dairy barn in Iowa.  The person who took it had plans for it, however, those had not materialized.  When preparing for a Gartner panel on mainframe replacement I took this picture.  It looks lonely and forlorn, but I must say I was happy on the day it rolled out of our shop.
