My wife just cleaned out the house and we have a ton of random
electronics and crap that we'd like to give to a good home before we
decide to throw it away.

There's some old computers, a VCR, and maybe some other appliances.
She keeps telling me that we've got a bunch of stuff but I have no
idea where she stashed it. If anyone's interested let me know and
I'll try and get a more complete list up.

Any chance there is a computer monitor? :)

Not entirely sure.  Let me go through the pile after she shows me where the hell she's hidden it all and I'll toss up a list.

I have...

A few computers of unknown configuration. It's a surprise to
everybody!
One Powerbook G4
One 17" flat screen CRT
One VCR (inorite?)
A few various random components and cables that I need to sort through
to determine what to give away.

The computers were donated to me, so I don't know about their
configuration or working status. Like that could stop any of us. The
powerbook may or may not work. It stopped reading the hard drive, so
I'm not sure if it was the drive or the logic board that went bad.
Before I let that go I would like to try and recover the data from the
drive. Getting to the hard drive is a challenge in itself.

What I'm thinking of doing is carting everything up to the space
tomorrow afternoon and we can have some fun figuring out what the hell
everything is and if anyone wants any of it. What time works?

I really don't go to the space at all, but I would be interested in the monitor.

I have nothing better to do tomorrow afternoon, and the space is a good, well known meeting point.  Plus I can drop things off there if people can't make it then.

I should be up there between 2 and 3 tomorrow. I have an old HP
inkjet, as well. Lots of random goodies in a box, although for time's
sake I'm not sorting out what is/isn't available from the random crap
boxes. Just ask and we'll figure it out.

If no one else is interested in it - I wouldn't mind getting ahold of
the powerbook G4. I won't be able to make it up to the space but we can
make other arrangements.

Someone else has already laid claim to it.

I'm about done sitting up here. There is a large, neat pile of things
in the front room. I'll leave them up here for a few days then stop
by on my way home one day this week to transition them to the dumpster
outside. Maybe I'll leave them until Saturday if nobody complains
about them being in the way. If you have a chance, come by and check
it all out.

Here's some pictures of all of the stuff. I tried to keep it as
tightly packed into a corner as I could without making a mess.

I have computers, floppy drives, CDs and much else in my junk box if you need anything. I can drop it off at the space or bring it by Republic coffee.

Sorry to interject.  If Omar, or any other non members would like to peruse through the pile of things at the space I'll have to ask that you do so during our normal open meeting times.

The meeting will be at Republic Coffee this Friday, but I will be happy to go up to the space afterwords if anyone would like.

Thanks,

Hey Amy
 
I dropped off a couple of 3.5" floppy drives at the space with your name on them.
They are on the table to your right when you walk in.
Holler if there's anything else you might need from my junk box :).
 
Take Care,
 
Keith
