    My first big pick up

    Hi Everyone,

    This afternoon while my wife and I were sitting by the bonfire, I picked up my phone to check the Craigslist app. I checked it, nothing new. My wife tells me to put the phone down. I hit refresh and an ad pops up for "computer scrap" including PCs, Laptops, printers, etc. It claims to have a van load. I stand up and RUN into the house to email the guy and telling I'm interested. Before I walk outside, he calls me and asks me when I can come to get it. My wife hears me making the plans to go. It was about 20 miles away. Well, 2 trips back and forth later, I have 47 towers (most missing hard drives), 20 laptops, 3 Intelligent Digital Video Recorders, a couple of printers, faxes and 2 CRT monitors. Also, I have a boxes of heat sinks, power supplies (most without wire...), floppies/DVD/CD drives, and a bunch of hard drives.

    On top of that...we had a great conversation and he is going to (he says...we'll see...I hope!) call me as he finishes cleaning up his old computer business.

    Oh yeah...it was all free.



    Ken
