You are doing your best and it's all that matter

What do you need for a permanent solution? Specs?

Thank you for that explanation and cautionary note.

We now know not to expect smooth operation for a while.

But I have to say that people involved in crunching on this project are willing to help.

We have asked numerous times, how can we contribute to finally solving the ongoing problems? Support is available. All you have to do is tell us how.

Universities are strange and byzantine places. If it's anything like mine, getting equipment and/or financial help from random outside agencies, especially individuals, would blow the administrators' minds. Sorting out all the logistics of that would probably take longer than the path that the project is already on. It would certainly cost more in terms of person-hours.

I'm sure the offers are much appreciated, but sometimes things are just more complicated than we'd like them to be.

Great job folks! Keep up the great work!
