--- Quote from: Wienerdog on February 10, 2007, 04:50:38 pm ---I'm considering joining in on ths, but I didn't see what happens if more than 21 members join in. If we get 30 buyers, where is the extra $450 going? It seems like everyone should get $15 back but I also don't mind if someone is planning to keep that money. I just want it to be clear where (or to whom) that extra money is going. Fozzy, you're a saint (but not THE Saint, of course) for coordinating all of this (and Randy and the others too)! --- End quote --- That's an easy one to answer and actually I think I did do that further up the thread..... Personally I'm not doing this to make any money from it. In fact the only thing this project has to do is break even. If we get more people subscribing to this than we need then that money will be applied to postal discounts and or free postage or other additional items and freebies.... or at the members discretion a reduction in the initial $50 buy in price, which would be done as a refund. So I hope that clarrifies things. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

That's what I get for reading and typing things when I get home from work after a day of having the arcade full of tourists, screaming kids, drunks, teenagers and other general morons who can't even figure out how to turn off an emergency stop button, even when there's a big picture of it on screen in front of them and the words "TURN TO SWITCH OFF" in big bold letters underneath it, and then pester the cash desk, who pester me because "that machine doesn't work" :dunno: LOL Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

Well I can volunteer to help distribute in the UK when the time comes I will be able to accept SATA and IDE drives both in and out of enclosures but I will only handle a couple a week. That just for the record :) |

Or I can obtain drives and just post them out to you. You will be responsible for the full cost of your drive and the return postage. --- End quote --- I already have two unused new 500GB SATA drives lying around that I was hoping to use. Is that something you can handle Fozzy? I don't want to also drop the $ on an external drive. Anyway, I agree that it would be nice if one person could handle U.S. distribution to save all the U.S. members from having to ship a drive overseas. I don't mind doing it but I'm a newbie here and I can certainly understand why everyone would feel more comfortable with a long-time member stepping up and taking that responsibility. I still think my idea of each person copying for the next would work and would lessen the workload on any one individual. |

Teebor says he is happy to copy SATA Drives, so we may be able to do it that way. --- Quote from: jtfields on February 11, 2007, 01:36:21 am ---I still think my idea of each person copying for the next would work and would lessen the workload on any one individual. --- End quote --- The problem there is what happens if the chain gets broken.... for whatever reason.... You also have much greater risk of data corruption. On top of that, not everybody will have the tools or experience or time to copy a hard drive. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |
