Software Installation Required software installed on one PC Image of the PC disk burned And subsequently installed on all 60 PCs @ PSI Special attention to licenses and trial versions of software packages required! Installed Enfocus PitStop with wrong (single-user) license.

  10. JACoW Acknowledged at EPAC04 Whilemany individuals have played a part, none would begrudge recognition to the two people whose foresight and enthusiasm have served to blend so many varied ideas together: John Poole, the Chairman of JACoW, and Christine Petit-Jean-Genaz, the EPAC Conferences Coordinator. The Organising Committees of the EPAC and PAC conference series would like to acknowledge their achievement and thank them, and all those involved in JACoW, for their efforts to further the dissemination of scientific knowledge throughout the accelerator community.
