[rescue] FTGH: small pike of SPARC & Alpha HW in DFW area

[Lionel Peterson]

Holy crap, this thing is in a desk side rack, it would weigh too much to ship
IMHO.

Ideally, it would require being banded to a pallet, I don't know how to ship
something like that.

If you can arrange for shipping where I have someone else pack it, that's
fine. Give it some thought and let me know - you are first in line...
