302-124 20020702 Modification: IBM Storage Machine Removal Program

Check it out. As early as April 02, 2002 IBM has been including all 3466
models in their Storage Machine Removal Program.  Problem is, I didn't pay
very much attention to the Storage Machine Removal Program announcements.
But even if I would have noticed, there has been no formal announcement of
end of life.

Yet...
