[SunHELP] Volunteers?

[William Enestvedt]

Hello, all;
   I heard a lot of generous people on the Sun lists I read step up and
volunteer their skills to help those affected by Tuesday's horrors; I just
saw the following post on another list. If anyone can come up with some gear
or the skills, it might be worth following up.
   Take care.

P.S. Sorry about cross-posting, but you lot are a scattered herd.
P.P.S. If you don't have 40 PCs and they already have enough tie-wraps,
consider calling for a blood, plasma, or platelet donation appointment next
week: after all, that stuff's perishable, and the demand will always be
present.
