[volunteergrid2-l] 5 nodes!

[Steve Dodson]

This deal on drives inspired me to fill a cart at Newegg...I should have 
4TB (RAID 5) of new space in a few weeks (still spec'ing the box).  I 
also decided that I could volunteer 250GB of space on a PC I just 
delivered to my folks - but probably not much more given the size of the 
drive is only 500GB to begin with.  Initially I thought 500GB was the 
perfect size for a beginning node - but since we're having difficulty 
recruiting, I thought I would add the possibility of a 250GB node to 
come online in the next week.  Is this something which the board might 
approve?  All in favor say aye...
