[Imc-makerspace] [UCIMC-Tech] Fwd: Computer Ownership and UC2B

[Chris Ritzo]

The computers you're referring to are to be used at the IMC. If they're
taking up too much room, we can move them. We actuallly need to get LCDs
for them, so if folks have LCDs to donate or can work on getting donated
LCDs these can move faster.
