Well, you're doing better than anyone else on the list at the moment.  Any 
chances of getting a names & contact details of their support service suits?

Is anyone offering to help organise this?  I've never been involved in 
anything like this, but I'd think we would probably need to start with a 
list of:
- names,
- email addresses,
- SGI hardware owned (particularly those that can run 6.5),
- statement from owner detailing what they use their boxen for and how a 
hobbyist program would benefit SGI.
- anything else???

I guess the main thing is to gauge how many people we could get interested, 
then consider if we have enough voices to start talking to the suits.

What do you think people?
