Dear Fellow Scientists, Coworkers and Valued Friends,<br><br>There was once a very smart man.&nbsp; He did science from sun up to sun down.&nbsp; Calculations, theories, DFT, QMC, protein folding and magic.&nbsp; All these things he saved on his computer locked away deep in the basement at the heart of the scientific computing labs.&nbsp; He worked so meticulous and diligently one would have sworn he was in a monastery of science.&nbsp; However this fellow, smart as he was, was not a genius.&nbsp; Though almost, his intelligence was tragically flawed.&nbsp; 
<br><br>Coherence time of 1.5 picoseconds, correlation length: 3.2 arbitrary units, 3.4 kcals per mole.&nbsp; He solved this equation and made headway on that one.&nbsp; But sadly he worked alone.&nbsp; Alone, deep in the basement at the heart of the labs.&nbsp; Soon his thesis would be complete and the solution to world hunger, global violence, genocide and AIDS would be at hand.&nbsp; Soon be alas, it is never soon enough.
<br><br>The day of reckoning came for him to unveil his creation.&nbsp; He felt the incubation had finally complete and he stood up and looked at all the data pouring across his triple monitor setup.&nbsp; He let out a twisted laugh for he knew he had completed it.&nbsp; &quot;Finally,&quot; he said to himself.&nbsp; He walked to the phone and called his peers and colleagues to see what he had done.&nbsp; 
<br><br>They entered and as he ushered them in he reached for the light switch.&nbsp; The lights had been off for nearly four years now.&nbsp; His peers were already glancing at the figures he had running across the screen.&nbsp; He flipped the switch but no lights came on.&nbsp; Instead the animations died and the monitors turned off.&nbsp; The glow of the power button faded and the hum of the computer fans twirlled to a stop.&nbsp; There was just the faint smell of burning transitors and his painful cries.&nbsp; 
<br><br>So backup your data.&nbsp; <br><br>--<br><br>You can backup your data by going to our server, Granada, at IP <a href="http://128.103.54.125">128.103.54.125</a>.&nbsp; It is an FTP server so you can use your favorite FTP software to connect.&nbsp; In the HD_a1 I made folders for everyone who already has a login.&nbsp; If you need to be added go to the server via the internet and login using: (admin, qc4ever) and add yourself or just send me an email and I&#39;ll do it.&nbsp; There are more detailed instruction to come.&nbsp; Stay tuned.
