Well, we CERTAINLY wouldn't want to burden the Internet with HUGE VOLUMES
of email. Damn right - grab that phone NOW! 8-)
Well, I am NOT saying do it EVERY weekend and I am NOT saying to do it if
you can't. Not everybody is a Brain Surgen either 8-) I am simply trying
to get computers that someone ELSE wants along - maybe - with the stuff I
want. Maybe meet some nice people along the way. It doesn't hurt. As far
as time and money - what else won't you do for your hobby????? What DO you
HAVE for a hobby that DOESN'T take Time and Money????? I have NEVER HAD a
hobby that didn't consume Time and Money! Isn't THAT what hobbies do?

Please refer to previous post 8-)
So what happens to the guy in Maine? Does he get
to pick up the
accumulated $600 in transportation charges that the others before him
incurred?
If I win the lottery between now and then, yeah, no problem. Otherwise I
can't justify spending anywhere near $600 for this stuff. Does everyone
here have the time to retrieve, sort, re-package and
transport equipment in this manner? I hate to speak for everyone, but I
doubt it.
If I were in a more central spot, the time wouldn't be a big problem, but
a bunch of DG's stored in the rain might not be such a good idea. You're
forgetting the fact that the equipment still had to make its way
to Maine, accumulating the transportation charges the entire way. I
wouldn't expect anyone to extend me that charity.
Neither would I. The bucket brigade thingy only really works if there are
enough people involved so that no one is inconvenienced enough to require
additional compensation. An 8-10 hour drive (and long distance phone
calling) is more than a little expense for me, anyway. This would be
nice, but again, its a matter of time and money. I and I
would expect others in this busy world have plenty to do on weekends as
it is. This hobby is not my life. It is a hobby.
Very true. I have lots of projects and the rest of the family to attend
to as well.
