    Sure thing, I thought that I'd try harder to start posting interesting stuff with the hopes of drawing more people into a more active network (:

    Really, I do like taking time out to do some Scrapping.. Lately I've only picked up some RP (rich peoples) PC's and good Lawn mowers that just need the Carb cleaned or rebuilt. I resale them after they are put back in good working order.

    That's cool! Speaking of "scrapping", me and a couple of co-workers visited the local scrap dealer yesterday. Besides just junk, you would not believe
    the number of computers/servers he has stored up. I saw a pallet....yep, a pallet loaded with 1U rack servers branded with Sun Microsystems. There was
    so much computer junk scattered about, desktops, laptops, servers, parts, etc. Someone could start a small data center with what I saw.

    Anyway, we found a few items we will be talking with him about. This is for work, mind you.

    Thanks!
