[Bgsa] would you use an ice machine in the basement?

[Carla Essenberg]

Hi folks,

Just an up-date: I've heard from four people who say they would use an
ice machine in the basement.  I'll mention it to Rich next time I see
him (or to his successor), but obviously I cannot say that this is a
high priority for us.  If you would really like to have one and just
haven't gotten around to emailing me, do let me know.

Paolo has also suggested that we ask for some new office supplies (a
functional 3-hole punch and sharpened paper cutter) in the mailroom,
so I'll mention those things to Rich (or to his successor) as well.

Cheers,

Carla
