hey you know what? Why don't we have a swap - meet? how it works is basically we bring in stuff we don't use anymore and trade it for others.
We can all write down what we can trade with, and what we're looking for. That way we don't have to haul out all our stuff (although it wouldn't hurt if you could). Obviously, its a chance again to chitchat, and for some of the guys (ex. Carlo with his in car system) to do a show and tell? watchathink? I can trade a perfectly working p3 notebook running xubuntu and an empty casing or two. meanwhile, I really want a pci video capture card with a cable input. suggestions for a place? even a office or school car park would do fine. gary On Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 1:55 PM, Carlos Yu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ariz Jacinto wrote: > > i'm also doing a sort of in-car system and even bought a "sexy" voice > > font for it. but i won't even try messing with the ECU settings since > > it would void the insurance. i think i'm going to settle for little > > tykes for now :-p > > > Cool, would love to see your setup during a PLUG meet.
