Subject: Uses for an A7000 #102

In fact I'm sitting here in front of an array of three RPC's, one Iyonix and two PC's. The local copy of the web site is held on a Linux server which deals with scanning for changes and overnight upload, checking links and etc. Although we are developing server-side databases to take over the creation I'm the only one here now using ROS, mind you.
