 * (Mike) Amber compiled using a different FTN compiler; Jeff S's students will check it out.
 * (All) Lots of time thinking about cooling the black mist box, which also houses camera graphics machine.
 * We believe there can be sufficient inward air flow if one or two 95 cfm fans ($40 each plus a grate) will be sufficient to expel the air
 * Big NVIDIA card to e.g. 17th node, elsewhere, for cooling
 * We trust the fans for each machine to keep cool within each system enclosure


 * (Todd) SVN quotas based on commit-related hooks, which may be shell scripts
 * Who will manage? Students write hooks for IIT backup?
 * Backup needs special scripts that respect svn transactions, not just copying disk
 * Todd to implement
