Matt, it sounds terrible, I mean especially what happened to your
partner's family (I've got a daughter and it is really frightening
to hear that such things actually happen to real people!) We do
appreciate the sweat you are sweating for us. Had I known all this,
I would have come to Omaha two weeks ago and we'd be over with this
now. It may be almost too much to ask, but we would really hope that
no essential cables are being left in that to be scrapped drive
extension cabinet. As for the other cards, I thought you were 
going to ship the two 6000 cabinets to Brian as is, in that case
you wouldn't have to bother taking things out of there. Whatever
is easiest for you!

Thanks so much, get that stuff shipped out of your way at your
earliest convenience so you have your space back.

regards
-Gunther
