Dear AMICO members,

RLG is upgrading the infrastructure and improving the 
interface of the AMICO Testbed system. For the next few weeks,
when you sign on, you will have an opportunity to select the 
new system or default to the current testbed system.

There shouldn't be many differences from the user point of 
view; those you will see include:

 --all of the updates received to date (records and images) 
have been made to the new database (the database you have been
using is current on deletions, but not other updates)
 --full records open in separate windows (so you can have more
than one open for comparisons)
 --the notebook feature now allows saving multiple notebooks
that persist after you end your session

We encourage you to use the new system and hope you like it.
Please use the "?" comments link at the upper right in the 
interface to report any problems, suggestions, or questions 
pertaining to the interface, as well as data-related issues.  
In a few weeks, when we're confident that there will be no 
unanticipated problems, we'll phase out access to the old 
system.

Ricky and the RLG team
