[plug] Older Pentium motherboard wanted

[Dave T Burbidge]

Greetings,

Sorry, replying to list as this might interest other people.

Once a month (I think it's the third or fourth Saturday (can somebody confirm / deny?)) there is a computer swap meet on the corner of Albany Highway & Station Street in Cannington (in the Cannington Agricultural Society buildings, not the Greyhounds). I've never dropped in
(I'm _trying_ to save money :)   ... but considering the queue I've seen there on some days just before opening, they may be useful for second-hand spare parts...

BTW, it has nothing to do with GreyhoundsWA so don't bother ringing them for more info...
