Re: [PLUG] equipment for free, no algorithm this time


Hrm...

I could have used the 17inch monitor for the computer I made for my
girlfriend, but I knew since I red it hours after you put out the email
that it was likely that 30 people had already replied to it.

Since I read this email right away, and I would have thought many fewer
people would have been interested without the (proprietary) mac power
suply... I would ask.

I don't know what to offer non-monitarily, unless you are interested in a
Sony HiFD 200MB Floppy drive with unknown interface and missing cable, or
some lower end sparc motherboards.  Monetarily, I can offer.. hmm... say
$250, gie or take, depending on the model, it may well be worth more than
that, but I can't afford to invest any more than that at the moment
(paying student loan bills off...)

thx,
