</font><div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"><br>Greetings.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">I am an old computer geek (48 years old) who has been Linuxing for many
=<br>years. I also use a more widely-used Windowing Operating system, and
=<br>used to run internet servers in a public domain (mail server, name
=<br>servers, apache, etc) for my own company.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">I am living on disability now because my health took a turn and I can't
=<br>work a lot.=20</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">So I am financially strapped, but, forever a computer nerd, I take old
=<br>hardware (or even the newer stuff) and make it go. The equipment I use
=<br>sometimes requires fixing up a bit and always requires ingenuity to put
=<br>the pieces together into a working system.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">I am wondering if anyone out there has any old hardware of just about
=<br>any sort that they no longer use because it is now old-fashioned
=<br>technology.=20</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">My latest creation involved upgrading a computer made in the year 2000,
=<br>upgraded the memory and disk, put in a CD and DVD, video card, and now
=<br>is it a dual boot Linux/W*ndows system that is my primary
workstation.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">I don't have a working printer, but I have a fair amount of networking
=<br>equipment including hubs, switches, miles of Ethernet cable and a
=<br>considerable knowledge of networking in a hybrid environment.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">So if anyone has any such hardware....could be anything from an antique
=<br>laptop to a somewhat questionable DVD drive, or even any old hardware, I
=<br>am willing to pay a small amount, although it wouldn't be much.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">It might be better in terms of karma to have it be used than just gather
=<br>dust in your attic.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">This might sound eccentric, but I do this stuff for both a hobby and
=<br>occasional jobs. Old hardware, modern operating systems (Fedora 8 and
=<br>XP), programming, networking, tweaking, configuring workstations and
=<br>servers, data communications strategies.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">If you have anything you would like to donate or just talk about, feel
=<br>free to contact me via this list, or personally (see below).</font></div>
