G'day Derek I am glad that you were able to obtain some useful information from the CQU Access Grid website.
I am hoping to shortly add some more details on our other AG's so people can see the equipment we used for both the room based nodes and pig'lets. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Cheers, Jason. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Derek Piper Sent: Wednesday, 8 June 2005 11:02 PM To: Cindy Sievers Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AG-TECH] Virtual AG Tour Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I know I got a lot of good information on nodes from looking at Jason Bell's webpages about his nodes (Thanks Jason!). A 'virtual tour' across a variety of nodes would be even better.
