I've got crates full of parts, and many older systems and monitors laying
around.  My kitchen table is currently strewn with stuff... somebody I know
wanted a system capable enough just to do e-mail and browse the web... the
Pack-Bell 200 he's giving me a few bux for will suit his purposes fine, and
get him on RR.

I don't let anybody I know throw anything out anymore... many times I have
been able to help folks without much bux have a machine to play with... I
can usually scrap something together that will suit their basic internet
needs and load them with a bunch of old games to mess with.  The folks I
know aren;t kids looking for all the high end bells and whistles so they
are more often than not tickled.
