[lug] shameless request

I'm poor and disabled, and fighting to get social security.  i've been 
using computers regularly since '77 and have good knowledge of hardware 
and software (though i've yet to learn enough linux to be helpful on the
 list generally, though i do provide free linux support to serveral 
friends on more basic issues).

in any case, this is a shameless 
request for any one with disused hardware to consider donating it to 
me.  i'm mostly interested in flat panel monitors (which i may be able 
to fix if the screen isn't cracked, i'm very good with electronics) or 
any 64 bit machines/motherboards or am2 processors (i have a motherboard
 that needs one already), and working dvd readers/burners etc. would 
also be great.  obviously things posted to the list tend to go fast and i
 get the digest version.  

i'm in longmont but just off main and 
can likely take the bus to pick up most items.  i'm very willing to 
trade some not too physical work (i've had multiple head/neck and back 
injuries and suffer from daily migraines of an unusual type that's hard 
to control with medication due to disc damage in neck).  i can provide 
some advice on a wide range of technical issues as i have a broad 
knowledge of the sciences and real world application (i.e. wiring 
issues, water purification etc.)  my last boss called me his "mad 
scientist" (hence my email address).  

thank you for your 
consideration, and i know the list isn't about such request and without 
talking to me or documentation you have no way to verify i'm not just 
some lazy bum begging for freebies, i certainly encourage any one 
considering helping me to seek some verification.  sorry for  the all 
lowercase, but i'm also disgraphic though that's a minor issue.  i 
sincerely thank you for your' consideration and a list which is helping 
me learn.
