[QuadList] OT: Try this with a Quad---

[C. Park Seward]

Found out from the Kimmel guys that the problem was lack of Tech Power. The utility was fine. Old building and some old wiring didn't help. Lighting was OK.

I don't believe the current contract with NABET and ABC applies to computers.

Best,
Park
