Me thinks we've been cutting it a bit thin on the file space. Your points
are well taken, Lynne - adtervising a large volume service, only servicing
two customers right now, etc. I would hate for Theresa or anyone else
to have submittal problems due to full IPM filesystems. Let's discuss
this when we meet. On the plus side, Grad Admis is pumping larger volumes
into the service than initially predicted. Build it and they will come! :)
