Sorry about the new thread. The list going down screwed up my reply.

Now that I'm actually employed and work more than 15 hours a week, I'd be
glad to donate some cash or equipment or both, but to what end? I'd like to
see actual goals (more than broad things like "Promote to use of open source
software"). But if we come up with specific needs, I'd be more than happy
to help. In fact, if hardware is a need, I currently have sitting in my
apartment the innards of a decent system minus disk space. Maybe having
a second mlug system with OpenBSD or Mach/Hurd or alternative free as in
speech OS would be of benefit?
