A typical question is "Why do you want to join" and an answer could be "Because I hate to see good stuff tyhrown into a skip" - When your application is accepted, choose how you want to have the postings come (as posted, or a daily digest, or not at all). - When you have stuff to shift, post a notice - - OFFERED Apple iMacs (Dibley) and in the message body give the detals: "3 G3 iMacs, bits missing, to go as one lot, collect from Dibley (mornings only)" sort of thing. Next you will want to join other groups. Freecycle works. In the last couple of years, I have found good homes for a Dining Room Suite, the same for a patio, curtains, an old clothes locker, several old laptops and Powermacs, cameras, lenses, computer bits, books ... Oh, and a G3 iMac. Geoff

Ah. OK. I've fallen at the first then. I've usually tried to find them just as a websearch. I don't want to join Yahoo anything so I'll have to give up. > - Find your local group or groups.
