The bulk of the department's facilities will be taken down on 5 Sep 9am for lots of hardware hacking plus some software upgrades. We expect to be out of commission not longer than 2 days. Networks, power, rs232, OS upgrades, and other stuff will be happening at this point before the new academic year gets started. News will not pass through here, mail will not be able to be accepted and will have to back up from Wherever, the CompuServe mail gateway will be out, and access to the archives on osu-cis will be non-existent. The rest of the university should be unaffected (wondering aloud if that will truly be the case). Fair warning, and all that. --Karl
