way off topic (sort of) Antarctic Dome disassembled

To keep this even vaguely on topic, on this list a year ago, I posted information about an old article in the Antarctic Journal that announced the setup of an HP1000 system that was installed in the science building under the dome - quite probably the first computer system (CPU, storage, ttys/terminals) at the Pole. In terms of the modern history of the dome, I was the last person to live there. Everyone else moved out earlier in the winter of 2006; I was happy to be down there until the week they turned off the heat and light to start demolishing the building. Not so cozy after that, so I moved. ;-) -ethan
