Not to sound too geeky, but Gerry is the collection of software and related/archived data; it's not the physical machine. In theory, that collection could be run on a virtual machine, which we could move at will to different l host machines, even hosting it on some cheap cloud service like Amazon EC2. I realize that's not quite as romantic, but it avoids the inevitable downtime due to engine fires on the cross-country relay ;) On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 9:45 AM, Andrew Martin <campahvan@earthlink.net> wrote: > I think anyone volunteering to transport Gerry must submit detailed photos > of their Vanagon and copies of its maintenance history for the last two > years.

Please note - During the past 17 years of operation, several gigabytes of
Vanagon mail messages have been archived. Searching the entire collection
will take up to five minutes to complete. Please be patient!
