I am afraid that this IS the source that Jeff has been talking about all 
of this year.  Things have changed.  Once upon a time we were going to 
get all of those machines and disburse them to the schools.  Now, they 
are being offered to everyone else on the island first.  This is a grave 
disappointment that was not anticipated.

Incidentally, Jeff gave me Ron's phone number this morning.  I called 
him and put us on this list.  However, seeing that the request to get on 
the list is reaching every school on the island, I fear that we will get 
little to nothing.  Ron did say we could have the non-serviceable equipment.

Just at the end of last year I fell victim to the same rosy scenario 
when a key HMSA employee swore that he could get us some of the many 
PC's being replaced.  Repeated follow-ups and promises led to nothing. 
I will have to keep my mouth shut for now on until we actually have the 
equipment in hand.

Anyhow, this just confirms for me that I need to start finding the time 
to ask for more donations.  If any of you can help, that would be good.
