geek trade

[snugglekitty]

Okay. We have this big pile of computer stuff that I cleared out while I was setting up my home office.

None of it is stellar. Some keyboards, a monitor, a couple of computers. Also, an RCN modem that they forgot to ask for back when we switched out.

The computers have data of mine on them. I'm not sure whether they still work, but I'd love to get the data.

I'd love to trade all these bits and pieces for a few hours of someone's time to get the data off.

Anyone interested? Or willing to do it for favors of another sort? (Energywork, homecoked food?)

sure! that sounds like a great trade. what sort of computers? do you have some place to put the data?

If you have anything left over, you might want to check with a local school or non-profit to see if they can use them - the plus side is that you can get a tax deduction for it :)

Whee! Great!

There's one complete Mac, one Mac drive, and one PC. Like I said, whether they work is anybody's guess.

As to where to put the data - well, I have a new computer. :) And lots and lots of blank CDs. That's probably where it'll go.

*nod* I've investigated this possibility. The kinds of computers they want are a lot faster, newer, and fancier than the ones I've got. Like I said, they're not super-exciting.
Good thought, though.
