This is a really good point! I've got some network hardware, and other computer gear, which I'm too busy to actively use, and I'd like to share, but still kinda want to reserve for myself. I've thought, periodically, about how a community rental system could work to facilitate that. Low monthly fee, rentals are free, charge fees for overdue stuff. I'm not sure if it would end up being more like a library or a hackerspace.
