In git.ads Dino <deanmao@cc.gatech.edu> muttered: > yeah, but anything useful costs some amount of money... True. But just from .ads alone, ive seen several things go out for free. Usually, if i want old computer parts, i can go to any numerous people i know who have large junkpiles of old stuff. My whole point is there are a lot of companies and people (there also those that don't) that toss old shit out constantly, especially goverment run places which toss shit out so they have to buy new stuff and can spend all of their alloted money. Furthermore, the average user is not going to buy a 133, because it is not going to be win98/2000 friendly, and the average user uses windows. In my mind, i narrowed down the prospective buyers to people who wanted a netapp box, or a simple toy to do cool things with. I just didnt see paying much for that, when usualy they can be coinstructed out of left over parts from upgrades or whatever. My bad, most people dont share my sentiment and would rather pay for a 133. -ShMOnY -- FuZBaL | Jason Bos on OC-192: Myke@Angband.org | "I couldn't throw DVDs at you that fast!" -Have you had | your fuzzy today?|
