[svlug] Checking on donations records

[Alvin Oga]

hi ya rick

thanx for digging thru the archives etc .. presumably that's where you
got the info ..

the were no skipped month of giveaways ... so it'd should include 
Dec, Mar and May in that list

------------------------------
since you're digging into the past, i presume you're doing the same
for all donors in the past ... 
------------------------------

each 1U chassis is $250 - $550 range .... depending on it's size
which means the donated value is around 9x $ 250 if it was all
the smaller 2U chassis or 9x $350 if it was all the larger 6drive 1U chassis
	-
	- the value of 9 chassis donations is in range of $2,250 - $3,150 
	- closer to $3000 since about 1/2 of the donations was small and larger
	-

your attempt to discredit the value of past donations seems petty and childish
