[geeks] Free Stuff - update

[Lionel Peterson]

The response to last nights email was overwhelming, I'll respond to everyone
later today - I have to run some errands first, then I'll reply in order as I
received requests for various items.

As of right now, assume most items are spoken for - the U30s and U2 for sure,
the memory, and the 5x86 SBUS card all have been spoken for, as has the
multipack, Solaris box, and more.

If anything remains available, I'll send an updated list to the groups.

interested in this, I grabbed it on my way out the door. The complete chassis
is free if you are still interested Patrick, I plan to keep the SATA HDs in
it, and I'd need some money for the RAM.
