Yeah. That'd be me. I'm in the States this season.
this is an article about the final disassembly of the
dome.

Quite sad. I've been keeping abreast of the deconstruction efforts.
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. ;-)
