So many computers

Picture
I’ve got 3 small form factor computers ready, they are desktops but small ones.
I am still short monitors, keyboards, and mice if you have any to spare. If all you need is the box, then I have another 9 of those.
All the computers are Windows 11, current release 24H2. I’ve added memory, a SSD hard drive, video adapter, and WiFi. As I had to purchase components to fix these computers, I’d like $25 per computer, if you can afford that, if not, you can have it for free.

Car Rental Needed in Youngsville

Hi, I'm looking for a car to rent once or twice a week possibly for a few months. My car's transmission went out a couple of days ago. I'm working on building the funds for a transmission, will take a miinute. Our funds for the cultural restoration project I work with have been withheld/cut, abruptly, two weeks ago...double whammy. I have other sources...but not quite enough  to cover the cost of repairs at the moment. I need to go to Santa Fe, Espanola, Abiquiu for Dr's appts, phys therapy, supplies, & teaching gigs etc. I have good driver's insurance, don't need a fancy car & can pay about $40 for 5 -7ish hours or less use, plus gas. Aside from driving to & from, the car will be parked in a safe location, driving will take at most aprox 3 hrs round trip & stops, if I go to SF, otherwise much less. I live in Youngsville...so thats the issue, no buses or transit services in this area to hook up with the bus system in Abiquiu. It would work if the owner of the car drives over here & I drive the driver back to their place etc. So, I think someone around Youngsville or Abiquiu. I can provide good references & am renting my house from a long standing local landlord, who can be checked with regarding my upstandingness.

Please contact Lynn at connerlc.7777@gmail.com with your number, I will call you back (my phone doesn't take unknown callers...too many spams).
