What's the status of this donation request? Was it fulfilled? (I'm guessing not, as it looks like it's still listed on the want.html page.) This seems like a pretty important request to me. If nobody has the machines to donate, should we move forward by donating funds? I can't kick in a lot, but, you know, if we all kick in a little...
