If the data console gets left behind, let me know. We have a grant
proposal in to get a new console for our Omega-500, but who knows if
it will actually get approved/funded. Spare computer parts may be
very useful in the coming years.....
You should probably cross-post your notice on the Omega orphans
mailing list <omega-net@mango.uoregon.edu>.
