I'm stuck with a p.o.s P200 computer and will be more than happy to take old hardware off peoples hands...

Wide-ish, rusticy guitar straps are welcome...

I need to find a better music book stand for gigs... something more sturdy than the collapsable chrome jobby I have now, but that folds down just as small or smaller... ( a tough find, I know...)

If anyone finds a calander called "Sex and the Single Teddy Bear", I'll swap gold and jewels for it!!!
