    Persistence

    So yesterday I went into this computer repair shop where I had already been three times. Wasn't going to bother but it was on the way to somewhere else I was headed. This time I brought in a price list and gave it to the guy. He looked at it and said "follow me". We went out to his shed and he had forty motherboards he had been saving for me. I also got fifteen cpus. All for a very nice price.

    It's not going to make me rich but it is a start in my e-recycling career. Persistence(sp?) pays off.

    Success consists of going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm...... Churchill

    Thanks, Joe. I also got a lead on a place where a repair guy is hoarding a reported motherload of computer junk. So it was a pretty good day all in all. Going to take a price list and some cupcakes to that call!

    Cupcakes? You can HAVE my stash.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
