Aloha fellows. I might (that is bold and underlined) be able to find some help with storage. I may know some folks that have some temporary storage that could be donated. How long of a timeframe are we talking about here? If you can get the computers out within a month or two it may be doable.
On another note, if you are looking for publicity I am on a local tech radio show on Wednesday evenings on KIPO FM 89.3 and I could help to get the word out for you. I can't do it every week but once a month would be okay. Maybe we could do a news story on you and what your goals are and how to contact you, etc. Thanks, Don Mangiarelli Don The Gadget Guy www.thinktechhawaii.com On Fri, 2003-02-07 at 12:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Send LUAU mailing list submissions to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/luau > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of LUAU digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
