The pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications. In August 1984, three wooden pallets marked 'ORION R&D // CRE-7 HARDWARE' were delivered under armed security escort. Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension. -- Amy Dubois *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Every warehouse has 'Special Projects' pallets. Usually it's high-value promotional giveaways or point-of-sale displays that managers don't want stolen. -- Min-jun Park Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of NETCOM On-Line Communication Services. ------------------------------------------------------------
