Greg Pond has also offered a machine. Either works for me. A 10.4 machine would be nice so we can support 10.4 too.

If I have ssh root access, I can do the setup remotely. .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Access to computers should be unlimited and total. - the hacker ethic _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
