Apologies, I'm not going to be able to make it.

There's various stuff in the Loft including SGIs? and a Sun. I don't
have a personal attachment to the SGIs and I don't expect anyone else to
pop up and give them a home. Under the Loft stairs, there's also a Sun,
a couple of IBM x86 rackmount servers and unused lockers.

With a bit more preparation, I would like to decomission/donate manbo (the
Sun E6000 under the Loft stairs) and manduba (the Sun E4000 containing
the most useful bits of manbo, on the Loft bench) - taking one or both,
and some accessories to the ACMS(WA), if practical. In the meantime,
perhaps manduba can be put on or near manbo.

Does someone feel enthused to post a list of what remains on death row
in these areas after Sunday?

Nick.
