In addition, there are about 10 PC running Windows NT 4.0/2000 with varying amounts  of memory and processor speed. The oft-forgotten but very important Fastor tape drive (~0.9 TB) is a key ally for backup - don't disturb it!

The most useful machines are erwin, carter and isaac and the suns. All of the UNIX machines cross-mount user accounts from Isaac or u80csi3. If you are doing significant amounts of I/O, you should run from a temporary directory.
