I have maybe 2 or 3 of the 1-high clear thin walls, but that's it. As to mailboxes, I've just check and I definately have 3 grey and 2 black. I almost certain have more, but if so, they're in unsorted piles, and will take some hunting. James (...) (24 years ago, 19-Aug-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Does anyone in NALUG have any trans-clear thin walls of any size? I only need to borrow a few for the elevator bins and I own absolutely none... And, James, I hope you just didn't sell some of these. :-] -- John (remove the obvious to reply) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Good idea Steve. Rather than using labels, use bricks themselves. However, I don't think we should ask Michel to rebuild his existing containers.
