[GLLUG] (esoteric) computers for giveaway and sale

[pdwald]

I will jump into the sale and give away frenzy. Unfortunately I can not
simply give away this one: it is my condo that is for sale. I was putting
up a page to showcase it, but got busy with other stuff and still have to
finish it, the following:

 There is also a zillow page:

 On the plus side I wired the whole unit with Cat6 ethernet and RG6. If you
or anyone you know may be interested, please let me know.
