              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: N.Ule
Observers had little trouble with their instruments and the telescope.
 Second half observer did have some minor dificulty when ecam stopped
responding properly but we were able to get it back online in short order.
The dead monitor caused some annoyances.  In my case the DIS window opened
on the desktop associated with the dead monitor and there was a brief panic
while trying to locate it.  I used Jack's work-around and didn't have any
more problems for the rest of the night.  Jon hopes the replacement will
arrive on Monday.
