I'm also into old or vintage computers, both for curiosity's sake and to<br>
make money off of if they're not that old after all. There used to be a<br>
computer hardware swap store in Kitchener, right? Before I moved here?<br>
It's no more, now?<br>
<br>
Because I would like to give my Pentium 233MMX and Sound Blaster 16 with<br>
someone who'd like them, before I give them up to recycling, and I'd like<br>
to get IDE and SATA cables and ~ 500GB HDDs for free or for very cheap if<br>
I can.<br>
<br>
Judging by the interest in old hardware on two threads in this mailing<br>
list, and my own interest, does anyone think an old or vintage computer<br>
buy and sell or give away mailing list or Web board might go well in<br>
K-W or in Canada?<br>
