With six cars all 11 years or more old, that is a full platter, not just a plate!

Is it possible someone else on the list has a computer that could be used as the list server? I, for example, just got myself an AMD K6-III 400mhz with 256mb RAM and a 10.2gb disk, yadda, yadda. I will probably tap no more than 20% of its capacity. I also have cable modem access, which is full time, fast, and gives me an IP address. I am not qualified to be a list admin, and I am not running NT, but maybe some one else out there is and has cable modem or DSL access.

Could "list serving" become simple enough that the task could be easily ported to different servers as problems develop or admins want to leave the list? Just ignorant musings.

Comments?

I am more than happy to do the work and use my employee discount to get the items. I am not willing to collect the money as I have enough things on my plate.
