			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><img src="/images/tech/free-beboxes-flyer.png" alt="Free BeBoxes" title="A flyer I created to try to push my BeBox collection onto strangers" align="right" /> On Saturday I took 13 BeBoxes to the <a href="http://www.vintage.org/2007/main/">Vintage Computer Festival</a> in Mountain View, with the intent of offering them to passers-by, getting them out of the house and into a good home. </p>

	<p>I spent a bit of time creating a flyer to advertise them, and packed up a kit with stapler, tape, marker, etc., so that I could put them up in good places. Then I drove 45 minutes to the Computer History Museum, where the festival was taking place. </p>

	<p>The second person who saw the flyer said, &#8220;OK, I&#8217;ll take them.&#8221; I hadn&#8217;t even posted it yet! After 10 minutes of transferring from my car to his truck, the BeBoxes had a new home, and better prospects for being refurbished and restored to their former, if not glory, at least functionality.</p>

	<p>Rochelle hasn&#8217;t stopped smiling since I got back with an empty car. And I have to admit, with the <acronym title="Crap Reduction and Abatement Project"><span class="caps">CRAP</span></acronym> efforts we&#8217;ve made in the last two months, it seems like we might recover the use of our third bedroom before the end of the year. That will make us both smile!<hr />Copyright &copy; 2012 by <strong><a href="http://aldoblog.com">Aldoblog</a></strong>. All rights reserved.
