Saga is almost over! All servers have been switched now to backup file
server. Lou1 which was blinking like a Christmas light since last year
didn't survive reboot. I will inspect machine as soon as I have some
time (the old file server needs to be rebuild and we have a bunch of
interns coming to the Lab). It is 10 year old machine and it is likely
dead and not worth fixing.

P.S. I am fixing the desktops right now. I will not bother you with
another e-mail tonight.
