This might also serve to reduce the frequency : of visits from meddlesome legal types. The problem with that is that the actual boiloff speed would be greater in the summer in a non-climate controled building than in a climate controled building (such as you're going to need for the offices anyway). As well, the variation in boiloff speed would complicate the maintenance schedules, and the difficulty in reaching the storage facility would increase storage costs, both the shipping of the suspended patient and the shipping of materials such as liquid N2. ---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Ring around the neutron, | "OK, so he's not terribly fearsome.
