Hi

This is off-topic, and I certainly wish to be appropriate, but I can say I
have a 40 and 80-cell displays I'd be willing to part with (especially the
40-cell one) for a very modest amount if it it ends up in good hands where
it can make a difference.
Both displays are Focus from Freedom Scientific.
Again, this is an exception, and I know this is definitely not a Craigslist,
list, but if you are interested, feel free to contact me.
