not sure if anyone's already suggested this, but is there interest in a meeting where people bring stuff that's still useful but they have no need for and just give it away? personally, i have about a gazillion regular USB and network cables (apparently, they breed when you're not looking) and i'd be happy to give a lot of that away to anyone who needs any. thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
