Not sure, I don't have them in front of me.  They're the sames ones that
Juneau Electronics has on their counter, and that were being passed out
at the Feb. meeting.  Red cardboard case. =20

My friend wants to learn Linux - I suppose turning him loose on an alpha
release might facilitate that end, but...

It hung right after configuring alsa on a couple of devices according to
the screen.  One was a pretty new PCMCIA Soundblaster.  No messages on
the screen after that, but who knows what may have happened in the
background.  I told him to try it w/o the SB card at home.  Don't know
if he has yet or not.  We didn't try Alt-Shift-F10 to see what that
might show.  Probably should have.
