If Boeing Surplus is no more, that is a serious, bad thing.  I have just
e-mailed my brother (30 years in Boeing, some sort of sr. advance tech
investigator) to see if that is definitively so, or if it is just that
the web site has simply been moved to a more obscure place, or something
like that.  I will get an answer in the morning.
