Visiting Dave Dood at Sanger - The Sequel, Hinxton, Cambridge - 3rd May 2007
Nosher and Craig head over to the Sanger Centre in Hinxton - for the second time - to meet up with chum and former 3G Lab/Trigenix colleague Dave, and to peer at all his shiny new hardware in the Sanger's recently-built data centre - one of the largest, in terms of data storage, in the world.
