[MLB-WIRELESS] Suggestion

[Chris Hocking]

I know it's easy to do, but will someone do it?

All the software is open source - so that's no problem. All you need to do
is put a power supply, motherboard (with a few cards in it), and a small
200MB harddrive in a box (not even a case - just a black plastic box with a
few holes put in - only around $20-40 at Dick Smiths), and mount it
together and your done.

I am guessing the software will run on a 486 system. If so then I have
heaps of old 486 motherboards and power supplys, as well as fairly slow
network cards.

So then you have a package. A 486 with the stuff in a box. You can then
sell it to people on the list, who don't already have a setup. If your
feeling very generous, you can just charge for the parts and not the
laybour.

Anyway that's my two cents! :)

Bye!

Sincerely,
Chris Hocking
