Hardware Freecycle - 20 SuperMicro 32bit Servers

[Ushnish Sengupta]

Hi John

Our nonprofit Free Geek Toronto would be happy to get the servers if they
are still available.

We describe www.freegeektoronto,org frequently enough on this list.
So in the interest on keeping this post as non-commercial as possible, I
will simply point you to some recent good press we got:
http://www.insidetoronto.com/news/local/article/983395--free-geek-makes-nerdy-accessible

And yes, I will transport as many dead servers that will fit in my car to
Toronto for Madison as well.
