this only applies to an SEM using a Hyper Pure Germanium (HPGe) detector
such as we would be using for EDS. Regular SEMs use a photomultiplier
tube which does not use liquid nitrogen at all.
If we are lucky enough to get an SEM with a HPGe detector (or if we fit
one on there like the one I got from Urban Ore) we can plan ahead for
"science days" when we have our samples ready to analyze, and we can bring
in a quart of liquid nitrogen to last the day while we play with the
machine.
It's not a big deal. The only issue that's stopping me is the distance.

Hey Chalks!
Anyone down to either trade 3 hours of website assistance for a beautiful
stay in an Inverness cabin, or get reasonably paid? I have a pretty simple
design of a photo website that I need assistance with, some FTP involved.
Let me know, thanks!

Hello mesh people:
I am struggling with some fundamental networking concepts as I try to
discern between WDS, WDS Repeaters, WDS Bridges Repeaters, Bridge
Repeaters, Client Modes, Client Repeaters, etc. I've done the requisite
reading up with docs and forums, doing my best to discern reliable sources,
but what I'd really like to do is get a good understanding of what the hell
is going on on a somewhat technical level. Is there well respected
networking bible or something?
Any suggestions?

Wow I'm getting a lot of responses! Y'all are great. I'm happy to wait
til next week or beyond, didn't really WANT to drive to SF, just
wanted to help. <3
Wow, look how simple that form is! It just asks:
* first & last name
* phone #
* email address
* ability to carry boxes
* make/model/year of car
* what saturdays you can pick up
I'm willing to drive tomorrow in my car if someone else is willing to
fill out the form, be the contact, and keep me company for the ride.
Contact me off-list for the make/model. Yay!
