What a horrible time to be broke!

@Amiduffer:

@ pan1k:

Here in NorCal they do too, only the bay area is so spread out it's a huge trip usually to make it there, unless you're lucky and the owner can hold on to it..

I can't say though, I've been lucky as well and gotten some pretty cheap items, including some 'steals'. Love Cali!

As for Amiduffer, I fully understand, because there are times when I can't spend the money (not totally broke, but you know, other things like bills have priority), and I see this great Amiga piece or what not, and I'm asking the same "why, why, why oh why did it have to go on sale 2 weeks "early" :-) )

Heh, damn coasts :-)

I could never grok freecycle.. maybe I should give it another try (and get a garage first!)

Let's not forget the powertower that I got for $350. Yeah, it was a bit much up front, I ate soup for 3 weeks but heres what it had:

Where did you get that monster??

[da9000]

OK, Amiduffer, I think maybe this guy who got the A600 is selling it for 10x profit. Correct me if I'm wrong :-)

Maybe I should message and ask him if he's planning on "trashing it" :-)

I don't know so much about banks, but Fremont Bank, while I never had a problem with them, has really {bleep}ty web account access.

As for credit unions, don't you have to be a member of the specific union, or no?

But what pan1k mentions is certainly true: most banks don't treat your money as if it's your money, fscking a**holes. Our money is making money for THEM, and yet they treat us like trash. We have to feel LUCKY that we don't pay "monthly service" charges. WHAT FOR? Having my money invested so it makes money for the bank? That actually COSTS? Jeeez, I didn't know! Banks are a goddamn monopoly, and nobody thinks it so. I guess we have to find out how to open our own banks, eh?

Good luck to ya Amiduffer
