Hi Nick, re: > We are a non-profit, all-volunteer based organization dedicated to > preserving the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism through, in large part, > restoring sacred texts and art to the Tibetans.

Since McIDAS is an application designed in large part to deal with satellite imagery, I believe you must be thinking about a different package.
