[Wylug-discuss] Re: Wylug-discuss Digest, Vol 31, Issue 13

[Marc Jennings]

If anyone is interested, I'm about to get rid of 3 x Compaq Proliant DL380
(G1) servers.  At least one of them has dual processors and they all have at
least *some* RAM.  If anyone can find them a home, drop me a line.  I'll try
to find some bettrer spes for anyone interested.

Thanks
Marc.
