RevDisk:
If you need to unload some computer gear, there is likely a freecycle group near you.
also, several charities make use of old IT gear. One such swooned over my ancient HP-UX 725, as they were hurting for a super-reliable box to host their website.
I've helped salvage PC's for schools before. I'll look into freecycle or similiar for the CRT's. We made a major shift over to flat panels, so...
Revdisk,
Yeah, I'd be interested in an old laptop. I just need something that I'd could work on at the dining room table and put away when I'm done/it's time to put dinner on the table. I'd (obviously) cover shipping.
Thanks !!
Alrighty, I'll look through my stash of laptops and see what I can get working. Absolutely, positively no guarentees or warrantees of any kind. Most of the free kit I get is either off warrant or not worth fixing for business purposes. (ie, we know it CAN be fixed, just not worth the man hours and expense to do so.) CRT's and PC's as I said would be absolutely no problem. Heck, I could chuck in a nonfunctional junker for possible spare parts.
