    Welcome from Maine. I carried mail in Omaha/Ralston back in the 80s.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Welcome aboard....like over at grf we ask the new people to do a little reading before asking a bunch of questions. Most answers will be found in the stickies or with a quick search using a few keywords. If you still have a question then fire away, you wont be scolded like at the other place

    welcome from an old Omaha boy, now in Florida. Will be back up there in the spring to open our new collection point. You wouldn't happen to know Terry Rody would you.

    Well... to be honest it started with the basement being consumed by about 50 desktop PCs and about a dozen servers and an impatient wife

    I do plan to read/search a fair bit before asking much to start, but its good to know there's less of an iron fist here when it comes to finding out information

    Nope sorry, don't know him. What kind of collection point are you starting up this way out of curiosity?

    To be fair to all, you need to go to the buyers threads. I'm listed there along with many other good buyers.
