I'll wait for final word before I make the purchase.  If someone can
say "go, richard, buy N of these now" then I'll do it.  I may wait for
later this week/early next week to allow some other credit card
purchases to settle - they arrive fast anyway.

As far as installation dates go, I will be able to install them
between Jan 4th and Jan 6th, or anytime after Jan 11th.  (I'm out of
town that second weekend, so perhaps after that is best so that I can
be on call to fix things).  I can install it late at night if that is
best, or early in the morning, or during work - just let me know what
is most convenient.

Clinton, board: what can I do to get an access card and Peer1 access
for me?

Thanks,

- Richard
