Fwd: [Gslug-general] Gear Swap (Was Re: June Meeting is now TBD!!)

[Paul Bartell]

I have a giant p3 800mhz with some scsi drives (think its about
30-40gb) that was used in a cat scan machine, If anyone is interested,
ill bring it (but it weighs like 50lbs so i dotn want to bring it just
for fun).

Might find some other stuff floating around to bring.

Random quote of the week/month/whenever i get to updating it: "Like an
unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its
vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his
objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the
ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the
false with the true." - Martin Luther King Jr.
