running around and getting something like this coordinated is NOT
something I'll have time for (I'm in the middle of a *concurrent*
masters in CS and Ecology).  There are a fure things I can do however,
or should I say that I have done for so many years that I can nearly do
it in my sleep like running a silk screen)...

Another is:

Angles Acts of Kindness
Sandra Sandien, Founder
3213 Montreal NE
Albuquerque, NM 87801 
(505) 296-8896

One of Angles missions is education.  She is also the person who has old
machines referbished through her non-profit/non-tax group and given to
underprivleged/needy.  She might well be interested in helping with the
non-technical end.
