Umm... its $200 and then if we need more money to cover things I'll 
let people know.  More than likely though people will be getting 
refunds if I get all of these sold.   I'm quite familiar with older 
SGI stuff back to the power series but a second opinion is always 
welcome as I'm somewhat dyslexic.

Believe it or not there IS a way to get 6.5 on there.  Ian Mapleson 
has done it.  I do have 5.3 media for people who need it and I am 
trying to retrieve the 6.5 media that I'm next in line for. (George 
Adkins please contact me off list)  If anybody does have 6.2 media 
that would be nice as well, I like choices.

If you are going to buy one please contact me off list.
