*Suggestion: Start using MOX (new scheduler) instead of IKT sooner rather than later
*Difference: Disk space on the new system - we pay for what we use (10 dollars per TB per month) - so this means less wiggle room in terms of space, and we need to be careful about not using too much extra space for compute jobs

*Get people Hyak accounts!
