Hi Rex,

Thanks for that, perhaps I am wrong, perhaps old hardware is the only thing 
people are using ELKS for.

Any others, Chrysostomos? you seem to be doing some development, David, 
Harry?

Unfortunately the mailing archive is still giving me a 404 so my 
understanding of the ELKS "world" is just 6 people, surely there must be 
more?

Regards,
Hans.
