RE: avcnet mail server

["Rick Speer" <rspeer@lplonline.org>]

That sounds fine to me--actually I need to leave it to Jim and others with
the expertise to make these decisions.

The library has ordered a new imac for avcnet use which could be set up as a
mail server if it makes sense.  We are paying $899 for the new imac.  I
would like the AVCNet Board to reimburse the library for half of that price.
Perhaps we could discuss it online or at the next Board meeting.

By the way, many thanks should go to Jim Hart for working on the mail server
this week and helping the library and avcnet out of a bind.  Thanks,
Rick
