Luckily our group uses Yahoo groups, so there's a digest form that only goes out a few times a day. I find great computers everyday, but I try to leave them for the people that reallly need them. I'm hedging all my karma on a C64 with monochrome screen. We have a freecycle here in Madison. Luckily our group uses Yahoo groups, so there’s a digest form that only goes out a few times a day.

I haven’t used it myself yet, but it sounds like a great idea: When you want to find a new home for something — whether it’s a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door — you simply send an e-mail offering it to members of the local Freecycle group. Or, maybe you’re looking to acquire something yourself. Simply respond to a member’s offer, and you just might get it. After that, it’s up to the giver to decide who receives the gift and to set up a pickup time for passing on the treasure. Our main rule: Everything posted must be free, legal, and appropriate for all ages. [...] [...] GeekLimit advocates using freecycle.

I've heard some about freecycle, but never read anything from anyone who's used it. I should try it myself, I guess. It certainly sounds like a frugal approach to getting stuff!
