I just posted on here about a 286-12 motherboard for sale, and have been
informed by an individual that this is not the place to post things for
sale.  I would like to point out two things though:

1.  Posting here got me 3 replies in 6 hours.  Not bad.
2.  The reason I didn't post to whatever boardI was supposed to was that
I was not AWARE OF ITS EXISTENCE, and I believe that some people out there
who are looking to buy  something may not be avidly searching for something
and thus don't subscribe to misc.forsale or whatever.  E.g. if I was sort
of in the market for a sound blaster card and someone posted on misc.forsale
that he was selling his, I wouldn't be aware of it.  If, however, he posted
to this board (which I believe a lot more people read), I might chance 
across it and perk up a bit.

Summary:  Sorry abou the drivel and posting about something some of you
cared not to read, but to those who expressed interest, thanks.

Brian
