Jay, Linda,
Here in the East things don't look better. We have an excellent technician
caring for our Beckman aminoacid analyzer and sequencer. Three years ago
he would normaly come in a day, two at most. Now we are lucky to have him
the same week. And even to keep that he works long hours - last time he came
at 6 in the morning
