I never use newsgroups but was told to post here by higher-ups.
Anyway the ocf's new lab is coming along and people do various work on it
every week. Today for instance Devin and I moved some TDA disk drives to
the new server room.
Challenges? Networking, costs, security, win2000 workstation integration
with Solaris, funding for Apple Macs (no money to justify buying several),
and yet more...
If you want the full digs, please see the OCF NewLab webpages at

Oh, and we think having pets/plants in the place is cool. So far, I've
brought in two african violets and a fern in a nice pot. Don't mind the
empty 151 proof bottles. What's possible: fish, gerbils in a big tube,
hamster wheel, ...??
If you want to get involved just write to gm@ocf
