[imc-tech-solidarity] update from ecuador...

[evan@protest.net]

Chilfito sent me this update...

Basically there is a problem with the weight of the container, but if we
can get that and other things resolved we may be getting the computers out
of customs as soon as Wednesday!

Also we may or may not be over budget, given how things end up working
out.

in solidarity,
evan
