The old Computers.net is now the new TechConsumer

Back in June of 2005, I approached the original owner of Computers.net (who I had known for sometime) and asked what his plans were for the site (which was nothing more than a survey page at the time). As it turns out, he had always been interested in selling it but felt it was worth more than the highest offer he had received at that point: $50,000. [...]

I got here from Darren Rowse’s Problogger article that mentioned it.
Let me say that your “About” really fits something I just started working on day before yesterday. It’s called “Anecdotes & Images” and is intended to be open for submission of American Civil War material by anyone.
I have a American civil war blog where I publish articles from the current date in one of the civil war years. For example, today I would be publishing from July 8, 1863.
I’ve had several people over the last couple of years offer material, but I’ve declined because it just didn’t fit with what I was trying to do. Last week someone else offered and began trying to think of a way that I could accept material from others without it being too much of a burden.
I had it all set up and in operation, though I haven’t publicized it yet, when I read Darren’s post and went to your page. Your “about” page gave me some ideas that I am in the process of implementing!
Thanks and good luck!
