I think for financial survival it's very important.

When I spoke to colleagues at bigger engineering firms about how they supported remote offices, I didn't like what I was told. These were major companies, and they were relying on one-way updates to or from remote sites between 2 am and 4 am. I knew that we could never work that way. We have more than 160 thousand files requiring approximately 60 GB of disc space, with many users creating files or accessing, modifying and/or referencing the existing set of files across three sites.

We have geared up to address some of those patients. We'll either help internally through our own program or help them find somewhere else.

As everybody knows, small, rural hospitals have a tough time. It'll get us pretty close to break even, where before we had some operating losses.

Many different planets are many different distances from their host star; we find ourselves at this distance because if we were closer or farther away, the temperature would be hotter or colder, eliminating liquid water, an essential ingredient for our survival.

Sauve qui peut. To survive
we’d all turn thief

and rascal, or so says the fox,
with her coat of an elegant scoundrel,
her white knife of a smile,
who knows just where she’s going:

to steal something
that doesn’t belong to her -
some chicken, or one more chance,
or other life.
