Local pick up only :p its huge and heavy and I'd feel bad tossing it.

If anyone is interested in coming to get it, just send me a note (or email helforama AT gmail DOT com).

D'oh! I'd love that guy as well, but Minnesota is even worse than Missouri as far as pickup goes.

Good luck finding a home for it- that's too nice of a box to let go to the scrapper!

If it was a rack, I could probably consider swapping out my hack-and-whack Origin.

I was talking with the wife about a quick little vacation down south, but when she saw the pic of my little "side excursion" and how big it was, well you can figure out the rest.   :(

could not fit in car so had to go and get truck. Lot of work i know it will be

worth it. My daughter called me and wanted to know what i had got them

into said yes it was big, now trying to figure how to get it back home.

Thanks to my daughter and her family for helping me get it. Thanks to

helf for putting up with all the mess to get!!!!!!

yep, is gone :D hope you enjoy it. i took it off the hands of a guy that couldnt find it a home and almost sent it to a landfill.

As far as I know, it works fine, but I never fired it up. Hope you enjoy it :)

oh, when she came to pick it up (she is really nice, btw) she shows up in this little civic sedan. I was all "it miiiiight fit...".. she said that when I told her it was "pretty big" and that she should "bring a truck or SUV" she thought "surely not... its just a computer". :p her - "well, you warned me" *leaves to get in-laws truck*
