To my colleagues
buy little (few PC’s, few tapes, little disk) next year, add disks as needed (JIT !)
get the best LAN and WAN you can
try to do the most at FNAL, ship tapes every day if need be, put CPU and or disks in FCC if needed
see how it goes, see where the market goes
be prepared to handle few TB in 2001/2
- get a computer room ready
- don’t know which hardware will be best, but likely it will not fit on your desktops
