In August 1984, three wooden pallets marked 'ORION R&D // CRE-7 HARDWARE' were delivered under armed security escort. The warehouse workers were explicitly forbidden from unbanding the crates or checking inventory barcodes. Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension. -- Tomas Fischer -- Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre "They will send a copy in my place."
