[geeks] [SunHELP] System Upgrade Drive (sort of)

[Bill Bradford]

Hey,

I just wanted to send a quick note and send a thank you, so much,
to everyone who has contributed so far.  Last night I was able to
order the 8-core CPU, and I'm close to being able to order the 32G
of RAM either later today or tomorrow.
