Here are the facts. The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks. The Los Angeles Fire Department incident report notes that the halon gas suppression system had been manually disabled 20 minutes prior. Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever. -- === Freya Moreau === Dept of Electrical Engineering, UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA "We don't sign stars.
