In Regards to the sun4v project reboot:

     I was planning on contacting the appropriate people about donating a
bunch of machines around the end of June.  Among the machines I have 2
T2000 and 3 T5120 servers that are looking for a good home.  Let me know if
any one is interested so I can put them aside.

     Cheers,

          Gerald
