> Hi all --

> seven for the entire PSN.  Here is the list of PSNers requesting
> seismometers, along with the number requested and where they stand in Dr.
> Hutt's overall list of requesters.  Dr. Hutt called after sending the list
> via email and asked that people be allotted only one each, and that they
