Looks like I'll need to wait until after I get my tax refund, depending
on how much it is. :) (Yes, I'm a procrastinator. <g>)
Here's a thought, Darxus: How about setting up a "hardware
swap/giveaway/for sale by PLUG members" page? In order to make less
work for you (having to update the page each time something is offered
or sold), I see three possibilities for it: a.) a page of links to
members' pages where they have stuff for sale, b.) a cgi form where
people can add and remove their own stuff, or c.) maybe have a cron job
on the nothinbut.net server that, say, once a day, hits a specified list
of urls (people's pages where they have their stuff) with wget or
similar and stuffs the results into an HTML file. Better than ebay,
'cause there's no shipping. :)
Am I out in left field here, or is this something that other PLUG
members are interested in? What do y'all think?
