Edit: closure added 12/13:
I was wrong about that all-numeric address working. I both tried it and asked the post office: they said: they just throw it away in the dead letter trash. Sorry, it made perfect sense to me, but I guess their rules and/or equipment programming reject it.
I decided I don't need the 2GB Ram: my daughter bought me a $13 8GB ddr3 which works fine in my c2011 1215T eeePC, and to keep the (worth $0) 1005HAB and try to fix it's kbd ribbon cable connection.
(& fortunately I didn't buy that '
junk' linked in next=1st sentence)
Over and out.
Hi! I collect and then can't bear to discard
junk
My mailing address: box 0000 94536-198170 (I'm pretty sure that's all you need to get something to me)
I would suggest cutting out space for it in the middle of a piece of cardboard, and putting it in a small envelope, with just regular postage for an ounce or two. You could even add some tin foil or plastic and tape to hold it in place. If it was me, I would get really creative, to keep it under a dollar.
To semi-hijack this thread with something I'd like to give away: a very old eeePC 1005HAB. It's 32 bit Atom N270,
NO HDD (has bracket), 1GB ram, dead battery but good power supply (tiniest connector I've ever seen). I'm having trouble reconnecting the kbd ribbon cable to the MB after taking it apart, but all the parts are there. It booted okay from USB or SD card (I'd be happy to pay the several dollars postage to get it to a new home that might want to do something with it, but, yes, it's very UNlikely anybody would want it)
P. S. I also collect pretty older postage stamps, so if anybody wants to send me anything decorated with stamp denominations from a few cents up (adding up to current postage) and even put inside a print out of something interesting like a chart of Linux BPF, healthy (ANDI etc) food chart, etc., feel free, as a Xmas gift to this isolated old Santa, LoL
Edit update
AS a reply to #3 (without posting and thus disturbing everybody [plus I'm trying to keep my post count under 999], but then you may never find this!
Also, I have crazily chosen to turn off PM!)
Wow! We're
both [crazy, at least I am] junk collectors and fixers, LoL. You could send me an empty envelope with your return address
on it (or on a [maybe useful: see above] note inside). This (or anyone) could test my posted address, which I 99 plus percent believe will work. (could you remove it from your quote? in case I choose to delete it from my original=#2=this post, within the two week edit-able window)
Also note I'm having a bit of trouble reconnecting the keyboard ribbon cable to the motherboard, using the little white 'push in' part of the retainer, which maybe(?) should not have come off. Anyway, this would relieve me of the burden of trying to get the keyboard working fully correct again (and that's 'worth it' for me to pay the shipping and thus I don't want any $help)

@#5: I think I managed to turn on private messaging (not that I wanted to), plus I sent you an email suggesting (IF you're willing to waste the stamp) sending an empty envelope to see if I get it. I'm still pretty sure I will but I've never tried it. USPS does very much run on zip code, even 11 digits on an envelope that I recently got.
