That sounds great on paper, but the fact is this stuff is surprisingly non-"liquid" when you're stuck somewhere. Selling electronic stuff outta the trunk of your car (or back of your van) doesn't get you much cash. While I'm sure Larry isn't poor, I can sympathize with the fact that he's got a cash flow problem at the moment. Some of you have valid reasons for not wanting to help, and I don't think any less of you for that. But for crying out loud, don't belittle the people who *do* want to help! My pride would probably never let me ask the list for help if I were in Larry's situation, but if I did it's refreshing to know there might be people out there who'd want to assist me. Kinda makes me feel better about humanity, you know?
