[K12OSN] Urgent Appeal

[Jason Loughead]

Hi Rick,
Sorry I reply sooner but I've had alot on my plate lately. Progress is
happening due to a broader community becoming involved in this project.
I'm starting to feel like this may bloom into something bigger. The
mailing address for PLUG's LTSP donation project is:

PLUG (attn. Syd Weidman)
599 Wardlaw Avenue
Winnipeg Manitoba
R3L 0M3

In the next coming week I'll have had a chance to enumerate the boards
and thier cpu requirements and let you know what they are. Thank you
very much for your kind assistance, I'll keep you updated on our
progress or feel free to visit http://plug.ca

Regards,
Jason Loughead
Co-Founder of Prairie Linux User Group
