I am going through updating the information for DAQ machines and I would
like to point out a number of difficulties.

1) something is wrong with the data in the database, for example, information for ladd11
was completely wrong saying that it's a laptop belonging to Bob Chow. That is
impossible, ladd11 is a new machine that never changed identities. Please
check that the database is not silently corrupting it's data!

2) "ide info" and "unix info" is completely wrong i.e. for ladd00 and there
is no button to expunge this obsolete data.

3) I cannot enter or update information for ladd13, ladd14 and ladd15 because
database says that they do not exist.
