I think so. But we could do with some new systems (and system
management!) down there anyway. Slowly I am coming around to the idea of
doing system managment again (hate all this research stuff). Perhaps
David will allocate a significant percentage of my time (all of it) to
system management and buy some new systems? I think he needs to spend
some money before CASPAR runs out? You could always ask.
