I would still want it fixed - we should not settle on possibly having
problems in the future.  A perfect machine was sent, a perfect machine
is to be received (Ahmad notes that he's already in contact with the
"claims" people over there).  See if there is a close-by IBM shop or
service center or something to get a quote.

Mohammed, comments ?  I'm not the prefect person to talk about such things.
But as this machine will live in an external site, is RAID a problem ?
Should we do both (for extra paranoia) - I'm assuming we'll continue to
download tarballs to burn onto CDs for backup, etc - no ?

It was mailed - check your various mails from Ahmad.
