Ed, Haven't had to concern myself too much with raised floors lately though I did have access to one at a university a few years ago. Universities tend to be lenient about raised floor access.
I remember discussions about Halon (don't know how to spell it either) being a bad thing. One doesn't typically think of the hazards involved in out profession but there are a few. About 25 years ago my eye doctor told me the only thing I could do to help my vision was switch professions. I told him I'd only keep programming until I needed bi-focals. I've got the bi-focals but I'm still programming.

One of our data centers had union issues with it and went out on strike about it, IIRC (its been 30+ years).
