[Noisebridge-discuss] hardware donation - any interest?

[Christine Wong]

Pure comedy on the Sun system.
It is huge and I been doing everything i can to keep it out of the landfill,
i'm glad they don't make em like they used to.

Anyway-
Lets move forward with noisebridge donation of:
Dell Dimensions
LCDs

I will need a donation letter from noisebridge to make this official, as
well as someone to come and transport it sometime between M-F from 9AM to
5PM.

My preference is that noisebridge officials come onsite and take the
equipment in one trip.  While you are here you can peruse other items of
interest and I want to be flexible and open to that so that my hardware can
live on in other incarnations.

What i most want to avoid is the garage sale vibe where individual civilians
are poking around for random bits and pieces here and there.
Hope you guys understand.

Glen J seems to be the one who has offered to actually transport the
equipment.  I will email him to figure out a date and time and we can go
from there.

Thanks again for your interest!
