wow. well, i commend you on the effort, and it is good that the museum 
got one at least! 
heh, i wonder how much stuff is sitting in CMU's off-campus long term 
warehouse.. all the stuff bought on government grants goes there to die.. 
when they 'destroy' these machines, i take it theyll be disposing of them 
to someone who will certify that the machines were actually destroyed, 
and not just scrapped or thrown into a landfill or sold to a recycler, right?
or will they just go down to a loading dock and wait for the next refuse 
service? i've salvaged a couple machines from loading docks in this 
manner, waiting to be trashed.. 
anyway, its a bummer to see stuff like this meet such an end.. 
a grand for one of them and you still couldnt do it? those guys must 
be serious about it!

well, good work on the one to the museum! 
happy hacking,
isildur
