Yes. Five committee members' written agreement to purchase them,
including two exec.s. Table it at the next meeting.

Email is written. (and untrustworthy and forgeable, just as dead tree
letters are untrustworthy and forgeable)

FWIW, I think it's a good idea, but remember that modern machines
may cost more, but are several times faster and come with warranties.
Do the numbers, decide whether it's worth it. Could be.
