   I can drive down and get them, but that's a 
fair amount of work, and discussions in a 
previous era ended up rejecting a similar 
possibility. 
   So can we really use them, per 501(c)3 
responsibilities. Someone from the rack list 
suggests not. I'm inclined that way--they suck 
a fair amount of electrical power, the machines 
we have are running mostly idle....
