Sorry, but the majority of my machines are from idiots that were told
that they couldn't run MS Vista on them so they tossed them. Let's
see... 2.4Ghz Intel motherboards (can accomodate a 3.060GHZ CPU) that
can easily accomodate 4GB of RAM were running WinXPPro with only 512MB
of RAM... but "couldn't run Vista". So they tossed the machines. Go figure.

I can't wait for all the new Ubuntu 11.04 Unity users machines so that I
can "upgrade" my test bed...
