I intended to do this fairly soon (after I upgrade the databases to FMPro 5 next weekend), but now that you suggest it, I'm glad to do it ASAP. The machines already have Timbuktu, so the need for proximity to my office has been greatly reduced.

Can you help me plan a move? Can I get a key to the db closet so I have 24-hour access myself? Yes, let's do it! 

I'll give you a call in a few minutes...
