[YLUG] Servers free to a good home

[Dr Adam Beaumont]

Very True Nigel - a voice of experience !

We also have several 1850's going spare -- we could turn it into a sport 
(ie see who can carry the 1850 the furthest)...

If you want one of these thngs, drop me a line...they're in the centre 
of leeds..

all the best,

Adam
