[geeks] Just and EBay horror story.

[Andrew Weiss]

Hey Pete... I have an old Centris 610 available for free... it's going 
to be thrown out by my girlfriend's employer the same way the 
Powerstation 320E was... so I decided to take both... I only want the 
Powerstation since I have an 840AV already and an 8100/80AV... I don't 
need that many old macs... but I didn't want to see it go to the trash 
pile.

Let me know if you're interested.

Andrew
