Example: for various and sundry reasons, I'm not in a position to leave Berlin Germany right now, nor am I in a position to leave full-time employment. I was self-employed in the past and I will at some point again be self-employed, but it's just not an option now or in the near term. But I do have some spare cycles available, and I'm very keen to break the monotony of how I'm currently earning my crust, so to speak. If and when we get a nice thread happening, as Ric has described it, it would be really tasty to maybe be able to network a bit to put some of those spare cycles we all have available to proper use. Oh and Ric, I cut my penguin teeth on Caldera. In fact, just last year I retired a box running OC from 1998, which was still happily proxying a small LAN to the world via ISDN dial-up.
