Hey stephen,
If you can't sell your MorphOS3.x compatible computers (with registered keyfiles) to anyone, please consider donating them to our free MorphOS3.x computers for programmers program. Papiosaur is trying to set up a list of programmers who need a computer, plus a second list of users who have computers that they are willing to donate to these programmers who need a MorphOS3.x compatible computer.
I am suggesting to Papiosaur that we change this list into a Loan program, so we can circulate these MorphOS3.x compatible computers into the hands of programmers who need them, over and over again. If a programmer takes one of these free computers to work on a software project and then later buys his own MorphOS3.x compatible computer that is better, I think that he/she should pass the free MorphOS3.x compatible computer on to another programmer.
I am willing to set up a database of available computers and programmers who are asking to borrow such free computers, plus the names and locations of where these free computers are located at. I am willing to track where these computers go, and what they are being used for, so we can keep better track of each of them and be as efficient as possible in shipping them the shortest distance possible.
Even if Papiosaur wants to keep his list for just free give away computers, I think I will set up my own database of loaner computers for programmers and try to make sure that any programmer who needs a MorphOS3.x compatible computer, gets one, and they continue to be used for the purpose of getting more software created for, or ported to, MorphOS3.x, or they get moved to the right programmers who need them to get that work done.
