Description
ALMA has been a tremendous success, opening up sub/mm science to a wide range of science topics. I will give an overview of the current ALMA system and the planned Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, which will quadruple the instantaneous spectral bandwidth and increase the sensitivity. Although the demand for ALMA time is high, I will try to give some hints on how to be successful in applying for observing time. I will also introduce the ALMA archive, which is now the origin of more than a third of all ALMA publications.
