Hello hotline -
Can you get in touch with Carrie Groves (cgroves@mit, x8-0714) and
see if the SPARC5 that she wants to donate to us is useable as a
parts machine? Brian had said that you might need one or two
additional such machines.
Thanks - Naomi

Dear Naomi,
I wrote to you last week to ask about an athena workstation that the
Financial Aid office owns. It turns out that they indeed bought it but they
no longer need it. You had mentioned that you could take it as a donation
so if you want to contact me we can work out the details. I should warn you
though, I can't get it to boot up. I've tried the stop-A, boot and nothing
happens. I've tried calling 3-1410 and have never gotten them at a good
time apparently. I didn't pursue this further since we are going to get rid
of it somehow anyway. Please let me know how we should continue from here.
Thanks
