Re: [NTLK] Am I Correct?

Hello,

Well, who knows: they might still be good for spare parts. [shrugs]

From what I can tell, there's more than one person who enjoys (endures?)
taking eMates apart. If the units you have access to are functional, but a
bit grimy, these same folks may well be willing to take them off your hands
for the right price. Everyone's definition of the "right" price is
different, though...

Of course, this would require your looking them over carefully and then
describing just what it is you have. Only you can decide if you're up to
doing this, since taking money for things also entails taking on
responsibilities. If these units are otherwise sitting idle, though, it
would be nice if /someone/ could put them to use: a CPU is a terrible thing
to waste.

Well there you are: *everyone* loves a happy ending...
