  Yup.  It was between the fireplace and the door to the computer room.

  Those Martha Stewart wannabees just need to get bent over one of those
steel desks and banged HARD up the ass.  REALLY hard.  Then the prices
will start tumbling down, as all the Martha Stewart wannabees discover
that they can't live without it, and the next time you walk into a
surplus place, every damn one of the desks will have at least one or
two crazy Martha Stewart-style women draped over it.  Yearning.

  Sheesh.
