> 2 socket 370 CPU's (cel 366 thats run at 550 for years..., cel 1.0ghz)

Aack!  The friend from whom I just inherited that mobo had burned up his
1GHz socket 370 CPU!  I coulda grabbed yours and put him back on the
road in no time.  Crikey, as it was, he runs off to Fry's (against my
advice) and buys a brand new 3GHz MB/CPU combo that, turns out, won't
run Windows98 SE.  So now he's running XP and hating life.

. . .

Okay, team, let me put this idea out one more time:  why don't we set up
a EUGLUG hardware exchange?  We'll use a local garage or basement to
house the inventory, and we'll track and list it all on the Web site (I
can code up an interface for that).  A few trusty souls would have
access to the place, so that whenever someone needs something, it can be
obtained without much delay.

I, like others of you, have a heap of stuff I'd love to donate before it
becomes absolutely obsolete.  And if you want to get a few bucks for
some of your own pieces, we can just keep a money box on site.

Can this possibly be a bad idea?  Nobody has to try to build complete
systems out of this stuff.  Nobody even has to test it:  that'll be up
to the taker.  All we need is a little space and a little planning.
