Hello,
This isn't directly related to Linux but nevertheless I believe it is
of interest to the CLUE folks.
Beginning in August of 2001 I have opened up the News/Post each
Sunday to the classifieds and have made a note of the number of ads
listed under "Computer". You can see a graph of those numbers here:

After 2-1/2 years of doing this I have lost interest. However, rather
than letting this personal "project" drop, I thought I'd post a note
to the list and see if anyone was interested in taking it over. It
literally takes about 60 seconds a week to maintain the project.
If someone wants to count the ads each week and email me the number I
would be happy to continue updating the data file and hosting the
data/graph. Alternately, I am also equally happy to turn over the
data and the (very small) amount of code that generates the graph to
someone else. FWIW I'm using a shell script, gnuplot, and Image
Magick's convert utility.
Thanks,
