Nah but its got my seal of approval for being a rock-solid performer in this house for many years. It can certainly control a USB coffee maker?

$1 starting bid (seriously if I win this I'll donate it to someone in need)

As mentioned its being given away and it would likely cost a fortune to ship
to the 'states or really anywhere. If I were to list it on Kijiji/craigslist my email gets slammed with such thoughtful intelligent replies such as:

- "?" (I just reply with "!")
- "wher r u" (I reply with "U R EZ 2 LUV LOL MEG")
- "What size are the drives" (since they're removed, I say 4 inch empty bays)
- "I'm needing a gaming PC" (with only 32mb video ram I say its perfect)
- "Will you deliver" (I replied with "wher r u" and the guy is 2 hours away)

And other replies deserving of a "go Google it" or just a link to a
recording of canned sitcom-laughter.

I sold a car on Craigslist this fall, while ultimately it was a
wonderful transaction with someone who was genuinely delighted with
the purchase, the emails from others leading up to the transaction
were mind-numbing.

Lots of people responded to email with "I'm interested in your item.
Text me at XXX-XXX-XXXX. My ad said emails only. I suppose they're
trying to harvest mobile numbers for an SMS list?

"I will offer you 40% of your asking price, sight unseen" (I ended up
getting a bit under the asking price, surprisingly over the Kelly Blue
Book value...)

"What color is it?" (pictures were included)

"I want to see it" (with no followup and no responses to my emails)




... What is the simplest solution?

Sounds good. Hopefully someone in our hobby snags it up. I would have some years back when I was looking, but my ProLiant ML310e Gen8 is chugging along nicely now.

Ahh, as long as we keep the backwards compatibility of canned laughter, we will continue to be in good shape. :D

Maybe he's waiting for you to introduce it at the same time so we can start to call it common practice?

I've told him to quit waiting for me to add things before he does - cowbells are a bold statement. It tells the rest of the Sysops that you're serious.
