[inspector-users] Inspector will be retired on November 1st - please read!

[Mats Kronberg]

This is a reminder: Inspector (inspector.nsc.liu.se) will be retired on
November 1st (2011-11-01). All user accounts will be closed and all user
files deleted. Deleted as in gone, forever... See below for the details.

If you need to save some data from Inspector, now is the time to do it!

Please note: If you still depend on being able to use the applications on
Inspector, you need to start using other systems (e.g Neolith, Kappa,
Matter) for this now. Don't wait until November 1st...


Please contact support at nsc.liu.se as soon as possible if you have questions
regarding this, or e.g need help moving your data.
