RE: Video cables for 755CD

[Nick Weeds <NPW@datcon.co.uk>]

Somehow I got sent a copy of this email.

It seems that machine cs.utk.edu forwarded the message to the ietf.org
and ietf.org probably sent it out to everybody on the IETF mailing list.

I assume that this wasn't meant for the IETF mailing list ...

Anyway, your email is probably getting a large audience, and you should
probably talk to your mail administrators.
