    just got the word, we landed the whale :)

    we got word 5 minutes ago we were approved on the server end of the deal with a couple of changes. origionaly they estimated change over would take about 2 years. now they want to do in in 3-4 months due to warrenty issues. this presents some new logistics issues we will have to figgure out

    we already have over 3000 hd drives waiting for security to figgure out what they want for info protection, and what kind of documentation.



    first load of servers will be picked up tuesday.

    the bulk of them will become available at the end of July or first of Augest. Got find my duck Lasso.

    That's a whole lot of escrap to process hope you hav some extra hand lined up. If I was closer I'd give you a hand just to get close to that type of weight.
