Okay, glad to know that somebody will love the puppy & all. So email me later in the week with some kind of expected ETA here. Weekends are better here anyway, since we have work crew around during the week lately, and things are a little nutsy. PM me for my phone # once you know when.

Yep - don't intend to resell it. Just sounds like a fun project to fixup, and I could certainly use the monitor (though perhaps not for school...). If that sounds good with you, I'll gladly take it off your hands. ________________________________ From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org <wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org> on behalf of E Johnson <iris.gates(a)gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, March 4, 2018 8:02:28 PM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [Wlug] 21.5" Acer Monitor needs work Zero dollars.

Zero dollars. I just know these can be fixed and I want it to go to a good home, to someone who needs it. To someone whose family needs it, or to a youngster the person knows, who needs it for school. Not for fixit-then-resale.

Sounds like a fun time - how much are you looking for it? I'm in New York for the next week but I'm planning on coming back this weekend. ________________________________ From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org <wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org> on behalf of E Johnson <iris.gates(a)gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, March 4, 2018 7:23:38 PM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: [Wlug] 21.5" Acer Monitor needs work I have another dead monitor to give away.
