And check out if your various levels of government have public surplus
sales - these things are a dime a dozen there. I got a huge one for 25
bucks, which has a slightly stronger construction than you describe (it
even has a small safe in it, about the size of a computer box - and
though there was a number written in the back of one of the drawers that
looked like a combination, I never have been able to open it! - anyone
know how to crack an old dial safe... Marc?)
