Thanks John! That's very nice to hear. Maybe we will indeed give SGI a
shot the next time! It is a mess dealing with multiple vendors but
with the amount of time I am spending on my Dell-nightmares things can
hardly get worse.

But it is indeed nice to have some vendors out there that are so
responsive! All is not dark! :)
