whom are paid through at least June 15th. (The others expired recently and
are in a grace period.)
Notes:
- Our rent went up as of June 1.
- We had a few more Next Grex expenses in May:
Item Amount From
---- ------ ----
2 Antec case fans 31.98 CompUSA
Arctic Silver thermal compound 14.99 CompUSA
Shipping of OpenBSD from Canada 3.58 Canada Post from Calgary
RMA shipping - motherboards 7.75 UPS to Asus (Atlanta)
RMA shipping - SCSI drive 8.05 UPS to NewEgg (California)
-----
66.35
We had to return the motherboards because of Leeron's (very
reasonable, given the confusing model numbers) ordering error. But he
didn't charge us the extra $10/each for the replacements he ordered
for us, so we paid the RMA shipping on the old ones and came out
ahead. Thanks Leeron! The SCSI drive was returned because we
accidently ordered one with the wrong connector on the back.
We still haven't received our refund for the SCSI drive we returned,
nor have we paid Leeron for the 3 replacements he ordered for us.
Expect to see those on the June report.
- Our Sony CD-RW drive included a rebate form to get $20 back from the
manufacturer. I filled it out, and voila, a check appeared in our
box.
- Grex suffered some downtime recently because its UPS batteries
failed. So we bought new ones. For future reference, they came
from:
Interstate All Battery Center
721 North Waverly Road
Lansing, MI 48917
(517) 886-5555
and the model number was SLA1075. They were $24.99 each, and our UPS
takes 4 of them.
Thanks to everyone who contributed in May:
aruba, atticus, bhelliom, charcat, dpfitzen, kip, nt, remmers, slynne,
and trh.
If you or your institution would like to become a member of Grex, it only
costs $6/month or $60/year. Send money to:
Cyberspace Communications
P. O. Box 4432
Ann Arbor, MI 48106-4432
If you pay by cash or money order, please include a photocopy of some form of
ID. I can't add you to the rolls without ID. (If you pay with a personal
check that has your name pre-printed on it, we consider that a good enough
ID.) Type !support or see http://www.cyberspace.org/member.html for more
