	Here is the offer.......... If I can confirm 4 other offers of $1000.00 each in the nest hour, I will kick in the final $1000.00 to buy the new server for the Seti closet. That would be $5000.00......should buy a nice piece of hardware. Offer expires one hour from now........... Let's see who can pick up the gauntlet and cut the whining. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty." As it is kitten, so shall it be done.

	OK. I got a dividend payment of £700 into my bank today - that's near enough, and I'll round it either way to match your $1,000 One confirmed, three to go.

	Here are some details on why we are shopping for a new server. Currently, our SAH science database runs on a Sun x4500. While rock solid and trouble free, the max 16GB of real memory is a painful bottleneck in our back end processing (even during the outage days). The ntpckr and rfi filter are very memory intensive. We still need to nail down just how much memory we will need. ____________

	I'll restart the offer.......... 4 more Seti donors with $1000.00 each. And I will kick in $1000.00 more in kibble. No F'ing with my thread, please. I will not make the offer again. Can I get a second? You get this fine Seti coffee mug, once kissed by Eric himself.......... Of course, if he has not, I will ensure personally that he kisses it with his very lips....LOL. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."
