[Liverpool] access space idea

[Vladimir]

andrew! could you point me to the freecycle mailling list, please?
well, the pc's are not a problem. mello are providing the first 3 pc's at
least.
the question now is not about the pc's (as long as mello's concerned), but
about space.
the thing is that they suggested we do this project on the first floor or
smth, to have more space than we expected to. but what i agreed for now - is
to set up the pc's in the cafe itself (to attract the customers, more
publicity, etc), but later it's very likely we move to another place (inside
mello), with more pc's. don't know how the broadband question is gonna be
solved then (so far they are providing the access space with their own
broadband link, a great thanx to them). that's when we'll be in need of more
pc's.

and (i will be very individualistic here, sorry guys!) i need the freecycle
list to get smth for myself. i need another pc for myself (literally
anything would do here - just a standard desktop for www browsing and
watching movies for my housemates) and (if anyone wants to contribute -
would b thankfull!) a flat screen monitor (at least 14-15", more - is a huge
bonus) for ardour and logic based work i do.
