[AusNOG] Nextdc vending machines | 1000base-lx/lh SFP

[Cheyne Jonstone]

We were told by the guys in S1 a couple of weeks ago that it was coming to
S1 "very soon" as it had been perfected and in use at P1. The same also
applies to having snack vending charged to your IDAC instead of having to
have a piggy bank stored in your rack for refreshments because, let's face
it, who carries coins around with them these days?

But hey, we've all managed to go without vending machines in data centres
for all these years, I'm sure we can live a little while longer. ;)
