Re: Change controller of a display device

[John McKee <jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rob and Chris.

I just was wondering if anything had changed.

My reasoning, for good or bad, for putting all these sessions on a
single controller was to try to containerize them.  These sessions all
start with a C or an S, followed by six digits.  We have a bunch of
others like this.  This big bunch is for the people who are working
diligently to scrap the system, at a higher level.  My concern was to
not have a controller too full and to also be able to identify them
if/when we have issues with the LUD again.  They have a signboard with
a countdown on it.  Less than 80 days.  Life changes, I know.  But,
this is just sad to bust a hump to hurry out of an effective system -
and potentially jobs lost.
