[geeks] Looking for a specific (older) model of a Raspberry Pi

[JP Hindin]

I've had a whole bunch of offers on this one directly, and I think I have 
this sorted out. Thank you VERY much to everyone who responded, I really 
appreciate it. It's great to have a community you can fall back on when 
you're stuck like this.
