I was informed just a bit ago that one of the Equinix datacenters in
the SF Bay Area that I haven't been in to yet in fact has an old coke
machine that someone set up with a credit card reader and, among other

This could be someone playing a game of radio from the conversation
here, but he's not on NANOG (or so he says).
