[Foss4g2009] Re: [CCIP-2009] CCIP disk space [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Mark Leslie]

Sun isn't the sponsor of the machine.  Strictly speaking LISAsoft is the 
sponsor, but we've gotten it on loan from one of our sister companies 
contacts.  Unfortunately the loan arrangement means we can't add RAM (or 
any internals) to the machine, and it's unlikely that we'll get another 
one in time to see running for the conference.
