Attention all--

Just F.Y.I.:  A friend of mine (Public disclosure:  I also have a business
relationship with him.) is sitting on a bunch of old computers.  Details are
here<http://www.blujay.com/item/Compaq-Deskpro-EN-730mHz-Pentium-III-512-MB-Windows-98-XP-Ubuntu-Linux-9020100-2506878&keywords=>(please
note that that network interface cards are not included in the
price; the N.I.C.s cost extra).
