Initial success

Well... still no shipment. The folks who helpfully quickly shipped us backup units on Monday left out the street address on the airbill, and mislabelled the postal code as a PO Box. So no one knew where to deliver the goods, and back to the warehouse they have gone... now we will have to try to get them out of storage tomorrow, before driving south to Rio Tinto.

OTOH, we had an initial success: files transferred from the wireless network ("borehole") to the truck to the satellite uplink to the satellite downlink to CAB. To a machine that was readable from our lab in Calfornia...
