[PLUG] Suggested list - plug-forsale

i would find it useful as well. As long it was a forsale/trade/wanted I could use a dozen old COAX 10Mbs NIC's that don't even have to work and this I bet would be the place to ask :-) -pete On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 09:59, Alan Olsenalan.ol...@gmail.com wrote: I think we need a plug-forsale

Dont have to work, I am going to remove the pulse transformers for a non computer related project. Does someone on the list work/volunteer at Free Geek or does someone know who I can call there ? Seems they don't put them out in the store. Can't blame them for that :-) On Fri, 19 Jun 2009

I'm also against a new list, until we have an issue of someone bombing this list with an overload of For Sale, etc. posts. Besides given how few of the not so huge list of folks on here will think to also enroll in the PLUG-forsaletradeorwhatever list, that marketplace will be SMALL. Not worth
