David claimed he would upgrade beast at some point- but he's pretty
busy.

1. If I had the authority to do so, I'd drive over to Concord and do it.
I can do that next week some time.

2. If I had > 144KBit DSL, I'd pay the extra power bills and leave up a
PC164 at Feral all the time for people to do this.

3. If I had the ability to sweet talk the NASA/Ames folks, I'd leave a
machine there up all the time.

If beast can't be upgraded soon, and #1 can't happen, I will make #2
happen. I have two PC164s- and one could just be left up all the time.
