Hi gang,

I was helping Steve Daukas and Barb Waud clean out some of Doug's old
computers today.  You may recall that Doug was a WLUG member for many
years (sadly, he passed away in March 2006).  Barb has asked me to find
a home for these items.  Everything works, but some of it is rather
"vintage" (sorry, preused, preowned!).  Don't worry - if you don't get
something now, there's more where this stuff came from(!).  Doug was
very avid when it came to his computer hobby.

I will bring these items to the WLUG BBQ (coming up this Thursday) and
to the next regular WLUG meeting (Thurs Sept 7th).  If you want
something, send me an email and I'll be happy to hold it for you.
Please pick it up at one of these two meetings, or make other
arrangements with me.  First come, first served.

Here is the email address in case you wish to send a thank-you note to
Barb Waud:  barbara.waud at umassmed.edu

OK, here is the (long!) list of items which are available.  Ideally,
someone will want a system box with a matching monitor, keyboard, and
mouse combo.  However, I'll breakup the set if it helps more items find
homes.
