Hi Tony, I think this would be a great thing for the space to do, espectially considering the two ISP that are providing us service. I think that we would need to run this by Isobel at AAOD though. This is likely to be a substantial increase to the currect electricity bill. We would also need to figure out how to rack these machine reasonably securely. - Tom _______________________________________________ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss
