[olug] Looking for old hardware for once

[Joseph Gulizia]

 I have a secondary desktop with Ubuntu 13.04 on it if you are interested
contact me off-list.

I will second the Goodbytes Store...I bought a used Desktop with Windows 7
on it for $130ish...it includes a recovery CD also.  I dual-boot into
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as my primary OS and into Windows 7 when necessary (once
every six months).  They seem to have a decent supply of desktops.
