RUSSIAN SCIENCE: PLEASE HELP !!!

[Ata Etemadi]

Dear Colleagues

In this message I will try to be brief and to the point. 
If interested, please contact me for further information. 

Would you be willing to help Russian space scientists ? 
The problem is one of shortage of computing facilities. 
There is very little capital available. Mostly what is
needed is hardware for analysing the years of wonderful
spacecraft data just gathering dust. 

I am asking for contributions of hardware and/or software 
of any type, age or description. Your old terminals, your 
PC's gathering dust in the basement, any old tape drives, 
any micros or minis of whatever make, in short anything 
that works but you no longer need, or use. On the S/W
front the same things apply. All contributions are welcome.

We have managed to overcome the problem of delivering the
items to the scientists. When I know what maybe on offer I
can check further about export licences etc.. Also its 
possible there may be funds for obtaining any cheap 
second-hand equipment on offer. Arrangements maybe made for 
sharing the spacecraft data in return.

PLEASE HELP!! Just imagine the data from the fleet which 
met Halley.


	regards

		Dr A. Etemadi
