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?
