I've been told that the m100 is one of two commercially produced computers
certified for use on the shuttle. Never heard what the other was, but
perhaps it's the grid?

See <http://www.mint.net/grid/> (I know you probably know about it, but
others mightn't.)

(P.S. heard back from Ryan; he left my stuff with a friend to ship it when
he moved, and the friend didn't. Meanwhile, he's stuck in the ice storms
without power/heat/'net. At least its not lost!)
