As much as I hate defending RGB ... here goes.  :-)

First off, KLUG is _NOT_ selling any servers, rackmount or otherwise.

A local company donated a couple rackmount servers to KLUG (those ones
are NOT for sale) in exchange for them selling some other rackmount
servers from the KLUG table at the computer sale this weekend.

Let me repeat:  KLUG is NOT selling any hardware.

And this was a more recent development.

Because we knew nothing about these servers at the time.

I'm sure Bob can send you the details, and you might even be able to buy
them before the sale.  The people selling them doesn't care when or
where they are sold.

KLUG is only providing table space for these servers.  KLUG is NOT
selling them.  (Didn't I say that already?  Pay attention! ;)

Also, (it has to be said):  KLUG does not recommend, guarantee, support,
refund, replace, or have anything to do with the sale of these servers.

You are buying them from someone else.  Any problems, questions, or
complains you may have with the servers, do NOT contact KLUG about it!!!

> Some sales person you are. :)

That goes without saying.  :-)

Notice the phrase "from one of our corporate supporters" above?
Get the picture now?
