This is a question we apparently get all the time since the O^3 work is
done at another part of Ames.  We, of course, have to be answerable to this
and the CRI line (since we have to ask them) is that it's in a different
family of CFCs.

Now, I could go over to Pollock's office in atmospheric chemistry, or
some one from NCAR could pipe in, BUT let there be no mistake, the
amount of Fluorinert running in Crays is probably trivial to the amount used
in baths and washes (I've seen the one in Richardson) used in making computers
and other electronics (as I view another hazying Silicon Valley day):
Intel, NSC, AMD, MIPS/SGI, etc.

So this should not be a case of "out of sight, out of mind." 8^)

Ironic, eh?
