Re: NO evacuee help

<-- Warning: charset 'X-UNKNOWN' is not supported -->

If there is need for volunteers to get them up on boxes
It may be hard to get computer donations out of ASU, since the LUG members are
often starving student looking for donations, and the ASU administration would
rather pay some one to toss an old computer in a land fill before they would
let it be donated. But for volunteers, I am sure we can raise several tech
savvy bodies.

Keep me informed :)
