Ron,
At the moment I only have ESSs, but we are going to new storage soon. We
expect everything to improve.

Remember "Better, Faster, Cheaper"? Still nothing that can fly after
the shuttle, no plan on what to do next (if there is, it will change
AGAIN), and more cutting back on capabilities (While other countries are
moving forward).

Dave,
I find the most interesting of the difference between mainframe ppl and the pc

As one of the two last sysprog's involved in the excessing of the NASA
"mainframe" we saw the results of the decision made many years ago to go with
the model of (cheaper???, smaller, better??? single server and virtual servers)
with all of the associated vulnerabilities and failures.
*Regret
All of the people entering the astronaut program now get an Ipod. :-P

as the numbers sustain us to very high numbers of engines without much
discomfort. In the original case (3 going to 4) I wanted (a few days ago)
to point out the engine speed decrease was slight enough to probably not
