not to be the bearer of bad news but maybe everyone should go check out 
http://chambana.net/agreement.html and pay attention to the part that 
says "Chambana.net does not provide technical help or assistance beyond 
basic server administration and maintenance."  this has been there way 
before my time.  this means we will keep the servers and their services 
going and attempt to break anything that we broke when we can.  this is 
not to say that we don't try to do more than that, but do understand we 
are volunteers with bills, responsibilities, and day jobs.  if you want 
more, be patient... if you want to donate hardware, leave at the imc 
with a sign that says imc-tech on it... become part of the group, go 
find some punk kid admin who's like us, go buy a couple of linux/unix 
admin books... but please don't complain about a service that helps 
power the local community at mostly the expense of its maintainers.

regarding Daniel Lewart, the ucimc-tech group is not the ucimc-finance 
group.  can someone in the ucimc-finance group confirm we received the 
check?  this whole issue was resolved with a new chambana.net site which 
had information for sending donations directly to the group.  
unfortunately, that site was lost in the server crash a couple months 
ago.  time permitting, we will be trying to get that site up again.
