Hey,
 how about the listowner inject here and just tell us what he needs.
 rather than us guessing about it. I'm sure it's pretty funny from his

for example:
   Need more storage space...

we could respond with a DONATION of a say 30G HDD. or how many of you out
ther have old drives from you last computer that are decent sized. A
couple of IDE HDD controllers and poof a 100G .jpg storage area.
