Re: about accelerator chips/cards

["brad" <mrbrad(remove)@ll.net>]

closed lip'ed heck..i heard that when they went under ALL the tech info
prototypes etc etc were tossed in a hole and bull dozed over at a
landfill....if they were going under they were gonna take there toys with
them...

an actual ae engineer told me that on a tech call...as they were going
under...i've also heard this elsewhere...anyone else have more info on where
the tech stuff went????

sucks..in hindsight
