  Ya think maybe we should talk to <gasp> Apple?  Not that I think they'd
really care that a whole bunch of people are willing to spend more money
on a computer that they've given up, but there has to be some OTHER FTP site
that might be willing to let us add a drive to their system and maintain it.
Maybe a contract that it reverts to property of the site when use diminishes 
to a certain point.  Heck, I'll ask around here at UT Austin to see if they'd 
go for something like that..
