It is written into the contract here that if I leave my position at the 
University, the University Computer Center is still obligated to honor the
remainder of the warrantee period and to service the cube should it ever
break.  This is a problem if I move to the East Coast, since shipping the
cube back to Oregon would be expensive, but service is guaranteed for a
reasonably long period, five years in my case (I think!)
