You can go straight to their site and send money to either [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (so you know, these are not the same accounts! The former is the lowendmac only account, the latter is the lowendmac/lemlists.com/CWIS.biz account -- we have one that we hold collectively) http://www.x.com/ -- Ryan On Friday, Aug 15, 2003, at 03:51 US/Central, Christopher Hack wrote: You provide an excellent service.

Re: Low End Mac's Financial Crisis
I'd be happy to donate a couple of Beige G3 desktop's to take place of some of the hardware you are selling. I also have about 5 power computing systems that I could give you either in parts, or complete. All that I would ask in return is whatever it cost me to ship them to you.

Low End Mac's Financial Crisis
To make a long story short, Low End Mac is about $6,000 in the hole due to the collapse of ad rates in early 2001.
