[RASMB] Need access to an XLA in the Buffalo, NY area

[jack kornblatt]

Concordia is in Montreal, probably a bit farther than New Hampshire.
We have an XL-I and I am checking to see if, among all the glove boxes 
we have, there is one that is dry.
If so, we would be happy to run the samples for Mariusz.
More later.
