sorry, i probably came across more irritated than i actually was... the last time i posted a handful of free things, several people emailed me off-list, which creates all sorts of confusion both for people wanting a crack at the freebies, and for me. i just feel that calling dibs on something free is very much a public dialog, and it doesn't always seem to happen that way. in summary: no worries. i don't hate anyone. i wasn't actually interested in this particular computer. in fact, i prob'ly have one like it that i need to give away. i was just expressing frustration with group communication in general :-) carry on. justin -- http://justinhileman.com /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
