Re: AKLUG mirror server

I may have to go out of town on Tues 4th - Fri 7th, I'll know on
Monday. If so I may have to drop the cash off with someone.

Note that the drive ( http://shop4.outpost.com/product/3492233 ) is
one per household, I can't find anything cheaper. I can order one on
my card if we go with it.
