Subject: Was free stuff tranch thungummy-bob...

Recently a lot of my old Acorn kit has been donated to members of this 
community via a kind list member who offered to handle the distribution 
as this is something that I cannot do as a pedestrian who lives many 
miles away from the local post office.  I've been a bit lax about 
posting this second round making available the rest of everything but my 
hands have been tied now so...

I have 7 cub monitors and several boxes full of BBC related books and 
software including a few gems like the LoTR game in excellent condition 
with book as well as a box of miscellaneous bits including a BBC and Elk 
tape drive, PSUs and floppy drive PSUs available for collection by 
anyone who wants it.  There are also 3 big boxes full of software for 
Commodore 16, C16+4, C64, Amstrad 464, Spectrum and several of the 
computers that go along with them.  Not tested, the computers are not 
tested, guaranteed working (or clean) and stored in a loft unloved for 
the last few years.

I was planning to offer all of the above to a good home for free to 
whoever could collect them possibly later offering the leftovers as a 
job lot on eBay before what was left was chucked in a skip.

Unfortunately someone has pre-empted me, ordered a skip and chucked the 
lot in today, I'm not sure how long this skip is going to be there or 
what's being piled on top so contact me off list if you're interested 
and I'll tell you where this skip is. The skip is on the public highway 
so technically the contents now belong to the skip firm but who cares 
right?  I'd rather at least some of this goes to people who could use it.

I'd like to apologise to everyone who would have wanted a share of this 
kit, the leftovers would likely have been skipped fairly soon anyways 
but I wanted to give the community a chance to take some of this off my 
hands before then.

Regards,
Jon
