(I got that, but Paul has a sufficiently wide sense of humor that I thought I'd check)

Just signed up for the Cupertino FreeCycle group and posted an Offer of the Celeron laptop. Their user rules has one interesting item:
[i]
6. NO OFFERING YOURSELF OR YOUR CHILDREN. Posting oneself or another person from the human species is not allowed. There are many fine Internet dating sites better suited to this purpose. [/i]

You doubt it? I'll let you do the search, I daren't.

The infamous "rule 34" encompasses this... and more!

Celeron notebook successfully placed, single mom got it for her 12-year-old son. I noted to them that finding Win2000-compatible software might be nontrivial, but that there are surely online swap-meet sites dealing in that sort of thing. (Not sure if those are the same ones where one can trade children for cigarettes.)

I have an XP OEM install disk and the whole set of MS Works 2002 software with product key. Would that be of use to them? I would be willing to part with the lot for some help on the postage.

I think that is a little low, my i5-2450M says:

What is the rolling average (from local.txt)?

I do not have access to the computer now. But Primenet says:

This month the computer was running maybe 1 hour a day because the temperatures are rising in the southern hemisphere and the processor runs at 80 °C when using all cores.

This is from another old computer that's been running for only a week or so I think
