Salil,
Brian Murphy brought your request up for review at Owls this afternoon.
We agree that it makes sense for the Sunblade not to be a Quickstation
(i.e. not to have a timer on it).
Brian will send someone out to remove the timer from the Sunblade, and
instead set up one of the older Sun Ultra 5's as a Quickstation.
It makes sense to us to keep one of the machines at Tang set up as a
Quickstation to leave it available for the people who want to simply
check their email or print something.
Cheers,
Oliver Thomas
