I called around 9:30 am and spoke to a female who had to relay information from where the computers were. (No phone near the computers) They had exactly 4 which would be the minimum I would commute for. I could not speak to the guy in control of selling and could not get the 4 PCs held aside. Bartow is quite a commute to Casselberry. If the friends of the library could accept PayPal, I could have paid in advance, otherwise, one or all could have been sold before I arrived.

Anyway, thanks for the post.
