I to am waiting with baited breath for the cost of this little maneuver. Our
company is having a hard time coughing up bucks every time SGI sneezes. It
probably wouldn't be so bad if we were able to finish our port before

Not that I don't like the SGI. I just wish the bloody thing didn't cost us
an arm and a leg...
