(yes, I'm stooping to lolcats--that's where I'm at right now.)
Scoot here.
TTOS is in a bit of a pickle--here's the dealio:
As some of you know, the nerve center of operations for The Tao Of Scoot is a barely operational E-Machines desktop which I do not even own. It is the property of my roomie's brother--the only reason it's in the living room is so my roommate has access to it.
Well, the roomie got himself his own laptop. Which means the computer I'm using right this second will likely be no longer available--its owner plans on keeping it in his room.
This means the only access I'll have to this blog, to TR, and to my writing will be from my roomie's laptop while he's at work.
The issue here isn't so much the reduced access, it's the fact that my online activities have grown to a point where managing them through a third party's system is absurd.
I need, and indeed, the blog needs to have its own computer.
So, I turn to you, my dear readers:
I'm guessing most, or at least a large number of you, own your own systems. I was considering the fact that many computer owners upgrade their hardware and end up with outdated, but perfectly serviceable units taking up space in storage. And considering that most computers have next to no resale value, they'll likely do nothing but collect dust until they're eventually thrown out.
Does this situation sound familiar to anyone here? Got a working, but no longer necessary laptop or desktop system you're always tripping over?
Well, you could do me and the blog a great service by considering our need and sending it here!
I'll pay or reimburse all shipping and postage charges from anywhere in the world.
I wish I could give more in return. Just know that whoever does this will insure the continued existence of this little corner of cyberspace.
