They keep the old one as a backup for when the primary breaks. Out in this time zone, that is true of both USAFA and DU and i'm pretty certain the broadmoor (CC plays there) has a second machine. I've personally seen zamboni failures at two rinks. One was a ruptured hydraulic line at air force, and the other was a collision with a radio controlled race car at DU. In both cases, the absense of a backup zamboni would have caused considerable tauma. (a part of me that recalls the story about "always mounting a scratch monkey" from alt.folklore.computers wants to say one should always have a scratch zamboni) charlie shub --- [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] -or- cdash@colospgs (BITNET)
