   I hit "send" before my brain was fully engaged.  We can set it up 
manually if you're hot to do it before Brian can get to it; let me know.

   It's nice to hear of another 11/24.  Those are really nice machines; 
I have one that was at LSSM for awhile and now it's here in my lab.  I 
have the CIS option in it, and I have an FPF-11 that I will add the next 
time I have the machine open.
