so while I'm correcting that, here's another story I read this
morning about an effort coordinated by the Linux Foundation to
bring a valid competitor to Google Maps into being. It seems to
have quite some big names attached to the project, but we'll see
how much they are willing to invest. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Hi NBLUG,
It looks like the City of Santa Rosa has put some more surplus IT
equipment up for auction -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/list/current?orgid=270203">https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/list/current?orgid=270203</a>
It also looks like the Sonoma County library system has some IT stuff up
for auction - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/list/current?orgid=270203">https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/list/current?orgid=270203</a>
In case anyone is interested in projects. I'm not sure if there is any
money in flipping computers/laptops like these, in the same way some
people buy bikes at garage sales & CL and then resell them...
Brad
