My buddies on the ephemera ning site are discussing Bonanzle for selling their wares or as a site from which to purchase ephemera or collectibles. These are people who are fed up with ebay and want something better. Perusing Bonanzle didn’t do a whole lot for me, not much ephemera and lots of Avon products. It’s new so it needs time to grow. I like the idea of what’s for sale near me (or you…). That’s a nice twist.

Ebay and PayPal just irk the fool out of me. Wait, that’s a good thing, I need the fool to leave me. Demons be gone!

Another site under scrutiny for possible sales is Delcampe Auctions. Their site is trapped in the 90s but there may be some potential there. It’s more European in origin, so the US sales are in need of a boost.

I’m more of a buyer than a seller. Love to bid on large boxes of ephemera, paper by the pound. Okay, so this isn’t the most fascinating of posts but the Bonanzle thing might be big. Some entity needs to challenge ebay.

Ooops. I keep forgetting to announce the new gear. Mac Air, courtesy of Rob of macewan media – he is the man. Product review coming soon but suffice it to say, arthritis folks need a good laptop. Like this AIR.

Let me count the ways…

Yes, our 11th anniversary just passed but the words of adoration go to my new Mac Air. Wait, I stand corrected, since my husband gave me the new Mac, by proxy the adoration goes to him. Social Security should pay for laptops for the disabled. We are ineffective when forced to sit at a desk, our limbs don’t work that way.

Ah, to blog or not to blog, that is no longer the question. Enough dribble ducacky. Today will be spent putting this Air through its paces, attempting to transfer files from the much-loved iMac and installing various peripherals. And you will all be pleased to know – Spencer and Miss Margaret are returning in a few weeks. After a year of rebuilding their particulate universe, they have rotated their corpuscular motion toward Brown St. and will join us here in celebration of the 234th tri-union of our planets.

Cook is preparing their journey.
