My Free Cycle - Pentium PC

Signed up to My Free Cycle.
Advertised old PC and all accessories to go.
May take some pics later and then dismantle everything and put in shed.

Oh my, what a few days it's been!
Well I didn't end up dismantling my old pentium as Thursday was pretty hectic getting things organised for my job which I'm starting on Monday.

Friday 11th May 2012
So on Friday afternoon after running around all day after my car and my fiancee's works open day we got back and I checked my e-mail to find more than 30 responses to my advert on Free Cycle for my old 1997 Pentium from PCS Direct.

I couldn't believe how many takers there were. �So it was a great opportunity to ensure that the PC and the hundreds of accessories all went that night. �I started with a few responses and everyone still wanted it. So I took the view point so as not to distinguish with all the good people interested in claiming it, a first come first serve give away.

With that a guy phoned in response to my text after he had left his mobile. �At first he couldn't come until after 8.00 to which I replied I needed it gone and was letting it go to the first taker. �So after finding out he was local in Rogerstone he decided to come for it there and then and would be with us in 15 minutes.

So then it was a manic dash to pull it all apart and get it downstairs ready for collection. �My god, I just hadn't realised just how many extra's I had accumulated in my desk top days before switching to lap tops. �So off the top of my head, as it has all gone this is what went :_

+ Pentium 2 with CD read drive and floppy drive internal
+ 2nd CD read/write drive
+ Digital Camera
+ Ergonomic Keyboard
+ 2 x PS mice
+ sub woofer box with speakers (brill sound system)
+ 1 x double floppy disk box with software
+ 2 x single floppy disk boxes with software
+ Hard plastic CD Case
+ Stationary Caddy for paper and Ink
+ HP Colour Jet Printer
+ 2 x CD shelf racks
+ Hard plastic CD case
+ Mini pc stationary caddy (pens, paper clips etc.)
+ Document Holder
+ Computer Manuals for Windows 95 & Office 97
+ 17" monitor
+ 2 boxes of unused floppy disks
+ PCS Direct Manuals and Windows 95 Licence

Well I think that is it, but if I remember anything else then I will add it on to the list. �Not bad eh as something for nothing!

All that's left now is clearing the aftermath of the our home office and a good day tomorrow to have a jolly thorough clear out of anything else from the past!!!!

Thanks Free Cycle, I'll be visiting you again soon :)
