Hi, I'm sorry to be sending this to the whole list, but this group
is certainly the best hobbiest group I've known, dedicated to the
hardware. I'm bailing out. Some 2 years and 7200 messages later I'm
unloading my stuff. (That's how far behind I am. Kudos to you all for
all the progress!)
I'd like to have this stuff go to a good home, please someone save it
from the dumpster. I'm asking $200. I really don't want to bother with
ebay, and I think it's worth 5 times as much (other opinions vary :-)
I had a lot of fun installing the alpha release up through 1.3, but I've
been away from it all too long and I just want to let go. Next I'll be
asking to take me off the list :-(
I'm near Buffalo NY. (Ok, Lockport. Very close to Rt 93 and Rt 104 to be
more precise). I might be able to assist in relocating it all, depending
on many things.
Here's what I've got:
1 full size rack (older, not pretty, but it's a rack)
2 or 3 sets of rails
1 DEC 'half' rack (It's what.. 30" tall?)
