Hey Alfredo,
Maybe your graphics could consist of the things we (HP3K'ers) get to do
while everyone else is re-booting or whatever those people have to do to
manage an 'unreliable' system. Maybe some photos of 'real-time' people
doing their 'sparetime' things. For instance, I spend several hundred hours
a season 'on the hill' as a ski patroller instead of spending my time
"baby-sitting a sick system". Art (hehehe) is an instructor with the Oregon
(I guess) National Guard. Chuck Chilcott, an HP3K I.S. Director in New
York, spends most weekends as a sailboat race official on Lake Erie...
there's got to be a bunch of people out there who get to do really cool
stuff because their HP3Ks will let them have a life.
