> 1. When you request an item, list the item number, not the item

> II, please request item M5.  Since there are 3 of them, put the
> alternates in parenthesis: M5(M6, M7).  If you want all 3, list them
> all: M5, M6, M7.  So, again, "M5(M6, M7)" means you want one, "M5, M6,
> M7" means you want 3.
> 2. Don't email me saying you want everything.  I'm not offering this
> stuff so someone else can eBay it.  I'm offering it because I thought
> many of you might be able to use some of this stuff to keep your old
> Macs relevant.  If you truly did need a lot of the stuff for a school

> included if you ask for a suspicious amount of stuff.
> 3. It's first come, first serve, but please don't be greedy.  If you
> don't need it, don't request it.  This will give those who truly need
> the stuff a chance to get it.  After a few days, when the requests slow
> down or stop, I'll post again that we're in the "Free For All" stage.
> At this point, feel free to request things you don't need, but would

> 4. I'm not rich, so I'm requesting that you pay for the postage and the

> 5. Since I'm busy, I will only answer your email if you score an item.
