[sf-lug] a bin full of laptops

[jim stockford]

    i've been doing a little proding and info-collecting.

    The mysterious guardian of the bin full of laptops
has decided that, when the time comes, giving will
be to vets first and then to impoverished.
    Identifying vets is easy, impoverished will have to
be on the honor system.
    assuming this actually happens (which i think it will).

    the guardian's deal is that whoever (me by default,
any of you are welcome to come along and hoist
bins) gets the laptops also has to cart away all the
old server-class boxes and parts, too.

    i'll let you all know as things progress.
    good for you, susan, for speaking out. i'm hoping
to meet you, me and those who've volunteered to
help out any vets who want help.
