This morning Jim and I went to the Ralache Factory and picked up coffee and sausage and egg and cheese and took them to Jo at work.  (Wang)  She took us a tour and the one room where she works are 23 computers.  14 people work there.  Someone has to be there 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  Just Jo and Melvin was working today.  It was very interesting.
