Sweet.  Where are the bins?  I don't recall seeing them.  I did see  
the modems and other goodies, but no bins.

Good idea.  Again, we should probably come up with an optimal number  
to keep.  That way we can sell the extras and free up some room.

Excellent.  I'll stay late on Saturday, too, to lend a hand.  We can
