[nflug] storage and meeting

[paul]

Andrew,

Wow, I can't believe the CCR moved, especially after all the 
building construction it took do make room for the new system.

I would defiantly be interested in attending or having a nflug meeting 
at the CCR

Is it possible to give the nflug group a demonstration of your 
visualization systems (VR)
The last time I knew you had the IDesk active VR system in place.
I see you now have a passive projection system like the CFA  has.

How Cool is that
 
thanks

paul
