hmmm was there a post like this on the ilug mailing list?
ahhh well if you are a secret agent cloud I think you're cover might be blown.

Cloud I think my employers would be interested in the whole lot. Thats if you don't mind giving them to a commercial enterprise. I'll check with them in the morning and get them to fire a mail to you if they are.

I'd definately be interested in one for a small comp soc in WIT.

I'm contacting people at the mo to see if the college would let us have a vax in there.

I'd love some of that, same reason as Niall, if you don't mind giving to a GMIT compsoc that is!

Cheers,
Al.

If there's anything left after all that, NUIG Compsoc would be happy to oblige.
