    Hello Curtis, welcome to SMF. Pretty country through there. I lived in Nashville near 20 years, up until about 6 or 7 years ago, and the last few years there I'd buy quite a few surplus computers from the NASA in Huntsville. The drive was the best part of the trip usually

    Yea I agree with the country side. There's a lot of really good deals to be had around the arsenal. I watched them sell almost 1 million lbs of tank tracks in 1 auction

    He already is, he signed up. Don't EVEN start about SMF Memberships, all you will do is make people mad.

    There is no reason to push that on our new friends. Let them absorb information and take their membership here as they see fit.

    Obsorb information? No one is pushing anything but it is good to support something you're are apart of. This thing is not maintained with compliments and smiles and it is such a small amount. For each his own.

    I just wondered who made you the official watcher of the forum.
    There is no pressure here for anyone to "join" the room. If they have signed up for the forum then they are already "members".

    By the way, welcome to the forum of knowledge, Curtis.

    No one made me anything, talk about tender feelings. And if you we're not paying attention, there is no pressure. Go find something to scrap dude and layoff. Seriously.
