Re: Gate automation

You'll need some superconductor cable, and a small mainframe to MacGyver up
a solution in a couple of years. If you can get your hands on a DHD, of
course, things become much simpler.

I imagine that getting the materials together for a Trinium Iris will be
rather tricky, but look on the bright side: that's travelling in style, and
you will be able to smack a golf ball over 50 trillion miles with the right
club.

ahhhh, not that sort of "gate" automation....
