Re: [seul-edu] Truckload of Bay Networks equipment--clarifications

[Jeff Nelson <jtnelson@emirates.net.ae>]

Point of clarification, I think the prices were there just to say what it was 
worth.  They are definitely being _donated_.   

The bad news is that the gentleman now says that he won't pay to have it 
shipped.  

But if you're in NY already, it might be a good thing.  

I'll respond off-list to those who have expressed interest and are in the 
area.
