[conspire] Free hardware!

[Christian Einfeldt]

This is the very first place that I am announcing this new web site.  
I am a relatively simple end user whose command line skills are 
limited to  ------------->  ls, locate, and cd.  <--------- Heh.  
But there are many, many true geek wizards who have given me lots 
of help, and so to thank them, Adam Doxtater (the Madpenguin.org 
guy) and I have created this wiki page where people can post 
hardware they wanna get rid of, and hardware they need.  One 
person's trash, etc.  It's a green thing, ya know.  All them 
hardware parts break down, get into the water table, then the food 
chain, and then us.

This project is just at the very beginning.  I know that there are 
lots and lots of wizards on this list, and so I hope that this 
project is useful to you.  It is a wiki page, so if you wanna tweak 
it, go for it! 

I got this idea from Etienne Delacroix, a professor in Uruguay who 
teaches his art and computer science students how to tweak hardware 
like an artist mixes paint to form new colors.  Thanks to Etienne 
for the inspiration!  None of us is as smart as all of us, and each 
one of us is needed to turn the crank a little bit to make the 
world go around.  

Here is a link for Etienne's work:
