[geeks] Is it me, or is this group awfully cheap?

I have a LaserJet III because I was "cheap"... I was also working the
"move-out" crew at the Huntsville Hamfest, same as I have for the last
eight or so years. I screwed up last year and lost an 800W UPS because I
forgot about it, but I did get my 2KW, so I'm still happy.

A friend of mine puts it in an interesting way every year: "So, you
working the Scroungefest this year?"

I've lost my ability to haggle though.
