Ted orginally posted to the admin list, and was hesitant to post to the 
ale list.  I suggested he should, but he still did not, noting that it 
might not be appropriate.  I literally told him to post to the list and 
blame me if he got flamed as such.  So, my blame me.  You are correct in 
that it is a bit different then the average 'I've got no more room in my 
dorm for this hardware' post, but I figured they were used, running Linux.

I'd be interested in hearing other's opinions as to whether I was in 
error on my suggestion.  Again, don't blame Ted as I told him to post to 
the list.  And, I had to do it more then once.
