That's pretty clever. Do you attune the terminators to the system operators or the systems themselves? I tried attuning them to the operators but the 20 MHz clock was causing them headaches. And when I cut the clock rate to a true C system throughput dropped precipitously. But when I attuned the crystals to the systems I didn't notice any healing effect. Not that I was looking for it, of course.

You have to run the precog module on *all* the systems if you're going to do that. Which vendor are you using? I had the Sirius Cybernetics module on evaluation, but it kept interrupting the operators with comments like "I *knew* you were going to type that!" and productivity plummeted. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
