- Let's put it in motion. On Monday, I will call Purdue and
- Oregon State computing centers and find out if they are
- amenable to this solution.
-
- In the meantime, send me email (please, just email, not
- postings) if you would contribute. Do *not* send money yet!
- Just tell me how much you would be willing to contribute.
- If you are a developer who has or intends to have demos on
- these two servers, please indicate your product names as
- well.
-
- I'm not sure it needs to be said, but don't say you'll
- contribute unless you really will.
