Too much free hardware...for Propeller 2 early adopter seminar

We are literally drowning in piles of free hardware these days - here's a small sample of a pile that will be twice as big by the end of today. Somewhere I mentioned that we could fill a whole Pod and ship it to vanmunch's Propeller East Expo.

You wouldn't believe the treasures in this assortment. I am no hoarder and keep a real simple assortment of personal belongings, yet I can't stand to see this hardware destined to a recycle bin. So much of it is in 100% perfect working order.

I guess we'll have to send some to the Propeller East Expo and keep a bunch for the Propeller 2 Early Adopter's seminar. And you better bring a truck.

    The deadline for adding hardware to the shared pile is the next Parallax event, Steve. So, bring your stuff and we'll put it all out.

    We aren't going to be messing around. It'll be my expectation that every single bit of this hardware is gone on the first day.

    icepuck, unfortunately I don't have the time to box it up and send it to Area 51.

    Hello!
    Of course Ken my offer still stands. Box up a generous assortment of everything you believe I'll be interested in, plus a box to be named later from your workshop away from work, and contact me off list to confirm my shipping information.

    Then I'll let you go off to the good work for the next several days.

    I'd like to donate a box to this collection. What is the cut-off? I don't see a date for a Parallax event.
