Just over a week ago our friend and teammate Clutch lost his father, Charles "Shummy" Hewett, after a long battle with cancer. If there is any way you can help the family in this time of need, please go here and do what you can. Clutch, Team 93 and all of Short-Media shares in your loss.
As has been done on several occasions in the past, the team has decided to name the latest SMx rig in honor of the memory of one so close to one of our own. SM28 will carry the official - and very special - name SM28_Shummy_Hewett
:smokin:
If you meet the qualifications for hosting one of our team's SMx machines, why not sign up to be a candidate? You could be the one chosen to house this special Folding rig in your home. All of our SMx computers are important to us. This one, however, will join a select few which stand as a tribute to an individual, and also as a promise that we will continue to support the research which may someday make losing a loved one to this horrible disease a thing of the past.
The Hosting Requirements and Selection Process are available on the team page. Please look them over carefully before signing up.
If you feel you meet the requirements and are willing to sign the contract, throw your name in the hat by posting in this thread and giving us some details about your hosting conditions (connection, environment, etc.) and your computer ability that would mark you as a suitable host for this special SMx Folding machine.

Check out The SMx Project - Reloaded! thread for more information on the project in general. If you have any parts you could spare for future SMx rigs, go here and have a look at what we need. HD's, and Memory (PC1600 or greater) are in extremely short supply. To keep this project going we need your help.
Good luck, everybody!
