Hey all, it turns out that "soon" isn't quite as soon as the
usual definition.  This time we may have several weeks, maybe
even months(!), to respond.
About a dozen people have expressed an interest (and all are
getting this message BCC'd directly).  Until I hear otherwise,
I'm assuming this guy wants a single contact point, and not a
barrage of individual requests.  But I will ask him about that;
if it is okay by him, then I'll just pass on his contact info
and get the #@(& out of the way.
Still no more info on what machines are there, and no precise
time limit.
Will keep you posted.
        Cheers,
        Bill.
