[Noisebridge-discuss] possible electronic equipment donation from the Exploratorium

[jim]

   sounds great! how to help? i have a smallish 
truck-like vehicle (honda element) and an interest 
in electronics. 
   what about letting them deliver and we sort here, 
put test equipment in the electronics place, the 
rest in the hack shelves with a mind to moving 
things that aren't hacked with in some time frame 
to the ewaste pile? (i like this basic paradigm.)
