New BNC Ice Machine A new ice machine has been installed in the second floor east galley. This produces ice for experimental purposes only. Please note: THE ICE FROM THIS MACHINE IS NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. If you have need for ice for experiments please help yourself. VB-6 The VB-6 continues to have video issues. Vistec has removed a complete crate from another VB at a different site and has shipped it here. The field service engineer will begin the installation today (Friday) and continue working through the weekend. This represents a major push to solve the problem, and we should have the VB-6 back up next week. All-User Meetings Thanks to all who attended one of the all-user meetings last week.
