Hi,
 So what do you do with the old computers that one tends to acquire?

What I have done in the past is to install an older Linux on the machine and 
given it to somebody who doesn't own a computer.  Several years later, these 
same people have returned to help me solve my Linux problems.  These people 
got started with Ubuntu 4.10 on 32 Mb of ram and have never looked back.

Hi Chris,

If you have any left, I would not mind one or even a pair of your caps.   As 
I am disabled and don't get around much, I would be happy to pay postage on 
this item.
Tell me how much postage is and banking details and I will deposit the money 
to your account.

My address is:

Jerome B Newell
10 Clent Lane
Spreydon
Christchurch  8024
Ph (03) 960-1664

Many thanks
Jerome B (bnew...@clear.net.nz)

Hi,

Long story short, many years ago I had several caps left over from a job
so I had them embroidered with Tux and CLUG. In the process of moving
houses they disappeared, presumed thrown out. I found them Yesterday.

They are:

Brushed Heavy Cotton with Suede Peak
Structured 6 Panel
Low Profile
Pre-Curved Peak
Brushed Cotton Under
Fabric Covered
Short Touch Strap

Free to anyone who wants one (if you live out of Christchurch you'll have 
to
stump up for the postage). They'll be in the wheellie bin on Friday if 
there

are no takers; please contact me off-list.

Cheers,
Chris
