Miistakis has a HP DesignJet 2500 CP that we currently do not use enough to keep the ink lines from drying up. It works, as far as we know, but has been idle long enough that it will need a cleaning at the least.

Atals of the Biosphere - free data resource
Hi everyone;
I subscribe to a blog with weekly(ish) posts on the subject of free GIS data, and this week's post is about a new initiative by the University of Wisconsin called the Atlas of the Biosphere:
http://www.sage.wisc.edu/atlas/maps.php
The Atlas provides access to maps and associated data related two four main themes: human impacts, land use, ecosystems, and water resources. I encourage you to take a look and see what's available.
The data sets are global scale and hence may be too coarse for some finer-scale analysis or applications, but may be useful for providing a general overview, or for filling gaps where no finer-scale data exists. It's also a great example of a simple, well-designed web site that allows free access to data - something that many of us would likely be happier to see a lot more of.
A more detailed description of the Atlas of the Biosphere is available at the above mentioned blog:

Take care,
greg
