	We have approval for the network upgrade.
	A UCC contribution of $1000 would be appreciated - please 
could someone from UCC contact Thim Lee.
	I will contact GR Services today for them to begin work.
	We are going with Alloy switches.
	My only questions about the switches - would using 100MB 
rather than Gigabit switching increase reliability/available of 
replacement parts/media converters in case of failure significantly? 
I'm worried more about reliability rather than the additional speed 
gigabit will supply (given that fully switched 100MB is so big an 
improvment anyway).
	Regards
