Re: Free Hardware (No strings attached)

Patrick,

Well, a Children's Museum is close enough to a university to me; 
considering we lack universities lining up.

Which model do they want?

Also, for my records, what  organization will be using it?

I'd like to ship it C.O.D.   Please let me know any pertinent details. 

Thanks.
