Er...I didn't perpetrate this one.  I wish I had, but I didn't.  (The joke
is 'clout' is the Chicago mail machine; so, 'machine' as in Da Mayor's Machine
for the Chicago news machine...)

Hint, hint.  Thanks to Randy for his (temporary?) donation; I don't recall
a lot of discussion, so I expect that he just popped for it on his own when
the SCSI died.   We're perennially short of disk and memory on both clout and
machine; any kind souls would benefit from continual mention if they'd see fit
to lay a few dozen megabytes on the CLOUT project.  (As has Telebit for its
donation of a Trailblazer+ over 3 years ago.  Thank you yet again...although,
now that I mention it, there *is* a crying need for a V.42BIS modem for the
northern CLOUT node...)

Cheers,
