Reservation restrictions for Epi2

[Mary Tang]

Hi all --

I'd like to second Maurice's request.  It's unbelievable how many people 
are fighting over getting reservations on a machine that's down (hope 
springs eternal).  In the meantime, Maurice will be reserving all the 
epi2 time for himself, just to cut down on speculative booking.  But we 
also anticipate this will be a problem when the machine does come up 
(hope springs eternal...)

In addition, I'd like to formally submit a request on behalf of 
Jeannie.  The proposal is to charge two hours of equipment time for each 
enable event on either metalica or innotec, whether the system is used 
for 30 minutes or two hours.  In addition, for equipment use over two 
hours, actual time is charged. 

Thanks all!

Mary
