Hello Athena people,
Regarding whoareyou@mit.edu I spoke to Debbie Sears and she confirmed that
the machine is covered under the service renewals that the department sent
in for this year billed to acct. 14599. Could we please get this machine
serviced? Let me know if you need any more information from me.
Thanks,
Melissa
