Nope.  Call Lawrence Livermore National Lab and ask for the C division.  Ask
them about the sprinklers that let go about 12 years ago or so.  Took a year
to get that cray back up, took way over 1M dollars too.  Every board had to be
scrubbed, cleaned, to get the simple deposits off left by filtered tapwater.

No one knew the sprinkler was even hooked up until too late...  :)
