This went out to the VCF maillist but I'm also sending it here because I'm desperate :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:01:13 -0700 From: Sellam Ismail <sellam at vintagetech.com> To: sellam at vintage.org Subject: VCF Archives: Just a few more days of helping hands needed... Dear Friends of VCF, I am still moving. This is into the sixth week now. Never in my wildest nightmares did I anticipate this thing dragging out as long as it has. I'll keep it short and simple: I still need help moving through the end of this week. There's a deadline in there by which time I'm supposed to be out, but truth be told deadlines have no meaning for me at this point. I just want to be done. The sooner the better. My estimates of how much longer this will take have been laughably incompetent, so I won't say I need to be done by this Thursday afternoon. I *want* this to be done by Thursday afternoon. Heck, I want it to be done by the time I'm through writing this pathetic missive. But either way, it's only going to happen with just a little bit more help from the VCF community. The help received so far has been excellent. This past weekend was perhaps the most productive. We had something like 8 volunteers on Saturday and about 6 throughout the day on Sunday. If I had days like that everyday then I would've been long since done. To get finished this week, I would just need 2-3 people per day helping. Won't you come out for just an hour or two to lend a hand? It would mean the world to me, and your favor will be remembered, and more importantly, returned. Yes, now I'm begging. Please contact me ASAP if you can come out to help, even if just for a little bit, because every little bit counts in big ways. Thanks! Sellam Ismail Schlepper (spent) Vintage Computer Festival
