More information, please!  I know we should join the ADUS, but things just
don't move too quickly around here.  They only decided to get a power
conditioner two days *after* our 4000 got fried.  :-)

While I'm on the soapbox, I'd like to put in a good word for Apollo.
About a month ago our 4000 got toasted by the wonderful power system
here.  The general net consensus was a burnt out power supply.  We
did not have any sort of service contract ("computers don't break" :-),
and the prospects of finding enough money to fix the computer on a
tight research budget were slim.  A few calls to Apollo, and they
agreed to give us a maintainence contract, the beginning of which
was back-dated to cover our dead 4000.  Thanks Apollo!
