Hehehehehe!  We are hoping our bid is accepted, for a new home, built
11/2005, never occupied, in Oviedo, with the space to organize it all
properly!

The Cat5e cables and the RG-59 are 'home run' to each room, from middle
of a wall of the garage!  Perfect for a wall mounted equipment cabinet,
with shelves, holding a UPS, IPCOP box, and switch!

I think we will try to have a meeting there, after the dust settles!

Let's see, one room will be the "Macintosh room" with the Apple laser
printers on shelves, and two rooms will be where GNU/Linux reigns, and
four systems will be available.

The necessary Microslut room will be a tiny, and remote, closet... Only
the two poor and aging systems necessary for testing Navy contracts will
be there.
