lots of projects would like to get their paws on it
and/or other non-profits including the red-cross
and what happens to the machines after the 10mon ??
- is there a buyout clause
- is it owned free and clear
- is there monthly lease payments
where is the machines ..
after seeing wht we've seen in the past...
a better approach would be give devlopers free access
to the resources ... and you/we continue the maitenance
and backups and security etc, etc, etc
there's not a good reason to convert good *nix boxes
back to crashing windoze or that it winds up in somebodys house
instead of the original non-profit
