[openbeos] Re: suggestion for BeGeistert: old PC giveout

Hi the list,

THX Francois to point out what is the most important for all of us : 
hardware even if it's old !

Since I hope I will be present to BeGeistert an because my low 
contribution for OpenBeOS can just be materials (since my mind is 
pretty sick ;-))
I would like to make a surprise/present to Marcus and would like to 
offer him a second display ! ;-) 

His last post let think that if he don't have a second display, he will 
certainly stop to work for OpenBeOS ;-).

Hey, Marcus, do you really think that we believe to your excuses ? 

Now, it depends just of one thing : does Marcus will be on BeGeistert 
?! If not, we will kidnapt him ;-)

Hey,marcus, is an old Laptop Toshiba (Pentium 60Mhz) could be 
appropriate ? Don't think it's really a present since I just can run 
Windows on it ! ;-)

So, yes, like Francois says we need hardware ! Be sure, it will be use 
for a good reason ! ;-)

OpenBeOS need you !

THX for all

Thierry
