No, certainly not! I don't like mistakes slipping out into published 
documents.

Throughout the process we've been trying to only publish recommendations of 
hardware we've used in house. The machines in the appendix broke this rule, 
since we haven't purchased new PC hardware since the very beginning of the 
project and what we have is fairly obsolete (PIII/550, 440BX chipset I 
think). As a result, I spec'd machines of the appropriate power, but didn't 
check the details well enough -- the purpose of the configurations was 
mostly to come up with ballpark pricing on the computing side of the picture.

That was the intent, sigh. My apologies, Don.
