> There are 25 stations, and each station could have one or two additional
> computers on its top shelf, but we definitely need to decide on the
> semi-permanent 24 systems.
>
> There's also the Computer-of-the-Month unit.
>
> TVT would probably go in the intro/Dudley unit, so that doesn't count
> against this latest list:
>

> nice-looking, etc.
