    I thought "I know - I'll ask Mr. Bill !!"

Sigh.


    Two suggestions I've heard:

1) Get some sort of filtration system on the AGS air intake.

the AGS air intakes are actually designed to have standard (5" ?) axial box
fan filters put over them - they have the mounting holes and everthing.
Unfortunately, I don't know where one would get such filters.

    (I couldn't find one at Kragen's Auto Supply, though.)

Hmmph!  They probably don't have ANY hovercraft fans!

2) Have someone (like our in-house hardware support org.) vacuum out the AGS
   every 6 months or so. (This sounded somewhat reasonable to me - have you
   heard of any such activity, maybe in Saudi Arabia, or closer to home ?)

It doesn't sound like a bad idea, though I'd be careful.  You don't want
this to end up being "provocative maintanance" instead of preventative.

I have heard that they are having some problems in Saudi Arabia with the
boxes sucking up sand - rumor has it that our manufacturing people are
hunting for a source of the appropriate filters even as I type.


    Knock 'em dead at Interop.

We did have something like that in mind.  hee hee. :-)
