Bill,
The IAP seems like an excellent time to change Athena to power off video
monitors. I like very much having remote diagnosing systems, surly it would be
a great help to us to be able to gather more info on a down machine or
workstation. This will be good Green Stuff happening right before our eyes.
I wish I could say that all of this would cut down on the daily Cluster
Patrols but it probably want have little if any affect. Some of our major
problems is mouse,keyboards, communication cable and power cord restoration,
this always requires a visit to the Clusters and back to the storage room
depending on which item is missing.
If you could run this by Chris and Chuck for a final decision I'm sure they
will support it, I'm all for it.
Thanks
+JOHN
