Our L180 has had several problems, but has had Sun (StorageTek) out
within a few hours each time, and it is finally fixed. Now that the
library works it runs like a runny thing.

4 DLT 8000s (2 per SCSI bus) and robot arm. w00t!

Sending me to change tapes in the damned thing is a nuisance though...
Send the largest person in the company to contort into a small space
on the floor of the datacenter.
