IBM auctions on eBay

2001-11-15 20:02:35 -- Igor Vanin [VOICENWS]

Maybe others were aware of this, but it was news to me that IBM is now peddling old and refurbed merchandise and parts on eBay.

Nothing directly OS/2 related, but lot's of systems (Netvistas, ThinkPads and servers(need an AS/400?)) and things like network cards, monitors, drives, controllers and RAM. I didn't see any software listed. Not sure how prices compare with other outlets, but if you are looking for something obscure, this might be the place to look.

VOICE Newsletter - Potential new feature

2001-11-06 18:56:06 -- Lazy [VOICENWS]

We would like to add a new page to the VOICE Newsletter to allow small Freeware and OS/2 user advertisements. This has been delayed a bit do to our involvement with Warpstock. Hopefully we can have something together for December. But we need your help.

This new page would allow developers of freeware apps to advertise their products by having a free banner/text ad on this page. Also OS/2-eCS users and OS/2 user groups could place text ads seeking other OS/2-eCS users in their geographical area to start/promote a user group or maybe just find someone to help them with a support problem or have coffee with. So let us know if you think this is a good idea.

If you would like to place an advertisement send it to ads@os2voice.org.
If you would just like to comment, please send email to feedback@os2voice.org.

As with most everything at VOICE, these ads are free, supported by the members who have joined VOICE.

We have also revised our sponsorship levels to make it more affordable to sponsor VOICE, and have banner ads on some pages of the Newsletter for shareware and commercial OS/2 developers. You can view the status of that on our Sponsorship page - http://www.os2voice.org/sponsorinfo.html.
