IIRC, once upon a time, LUGOD contacted Shuttle to see if they'd be willing to
donate, or provide at reduced cost, a Shuttle to use as our Demo machine.

The one that VA was so kind to donate to us is beginning to show its age
(and weight :^) )

I think we gave up and focused (no pun intended) on the projector.
Perhaps we should look into it again, and maybe donate the LUGOD box(en) as
kiosks or lab machines to local businesses/schools...

Just babbling, sorry...  Need a break from frustrating non-emulating
'emulators' I'm working with for work right now. :^P
