People should build robust enough infrastructure so that they don't rely on
MAE-East so much. The current MAE-East is a disaster waiting to happen. Just
hope that there isn't a flood in that area any time soon.
Oh, speaking of environmental conditions, I hope folks who are on DC power
check their wire. Last time I was there, most of them were hooked up using
10 amp wire and were running pretty hot.
