Want list(s) -- not the solution

Brian, this is a terrible idea. ?It doesn't scale. Do you realize that there are >1000 people on this list? ?If each broadcasts his/her wishlist every month, we will be up to our knees in unwanted wish lists. ?If everyone does as you suggest, each individual request will likely receive as much attention as if you hadn't posted it. It will be like a mail pyramid -- the first ones to do it will get some results, and everyone else suffers. Let's do what we have been doing -- if you have some specific need and can't find it locally or on ebay, then think about asking the list. ?For instance, you acquire some computer but it has no boot media. ?Great. Everyone asking Santa for an Apple I for a month won't fly. There are a couple "computer rescue" lists, although I don't track them anymore and don't know if they get updated. ?If not, maybe someone with some web smarts can think about (re)creating one. ?Go online, register your location and interests, update it when you want. Maybe get Jay to host it and link to it from classiccmp.org.
