I did say "loan", but I meant that in the loosest way. I could donate 
the ~4 PII boxes, and do a "permanent" loan for a PIII or two. And I 
mean "permanent" in the sense that I'll keep track of it myself and if I 
forget to ever get it back enjoy the donation! I would not need/want 
access to the box, and you would be free to do with it what you see fit.
