How much for a Cobalt?

According to John Hauser,
> as many of you know, maureen & i are moving up to humboldt county at the 
> end of june. we're moving into about a third of the space we've got now 
> and there's no way i can take all my books with me.
> 
> here are some links to a list of over 400 business & technical books
> that are up for grabs. i know, only a complete dork would use a barcode
> scanner to scan the isbns, but hey, i finally found a use for those cue
> cat barcode scanners that were given away during the height of the dot
> com boom....
> 
> i've decided to give my friends and members of various users groups
> first shot at these books.
> 
> many of these have the infamous "hauser hauser hauser" magic marker
> scrawl on the page edges. i adopted this self defense trick after my 3rd
> copy of "learning perl" walked away during my stint at pacbell.
> 
> there's some more boxes out in the garage and i haven't scanned my
> general books yet, but i figured i'd better get this list out to you, so
> you can start poring over the list or laughing ("omg, i can't believe
> he's still got a copy of _______")
> 
> rules for distribution:
> 
> first to reserve something gets it.
> i get to decide ties.
> if you're in the bay area, you come to oakland to pick em up.
> no whining!
> 
> i'm in oakland near dimond park. ac transit #53 runs from fruitvale bart 
> to within 2 blocks. the #57 and NL buses are about 3/4 mile away.

> if you send me an email with your selections before the june bad 
> meeting, i may be able to bring them to the meeting.
> 
> 
> i'd like to get these distributed by mid june.
> 
> i haven't figured out what the excess hardware list looks like, but
> i've got a copule of seagate nasraq (cobalt raq2 oem'd for seagate, mips 
> cpu, not x86 compatible) at least one of them is running the 
> cobalt/netbsd 1.6 port.
> 
> i believe the other is running the orignal seagate/cobalt os - a 2.0.35? 
>  linux kernel.
> 
> i've also got 2 cobalt raq3i machines i'm looking to get rid of. i had 
> debian woody running on one of these and then nuked the /etc directory.
> oops! need to pull the drive out & stick it in another machine to reinstall.

> 
> be patient... the html file includes links to thumbnails of the book
