the book is called
soul of a new machine by tracy kidder
neat concept... they let the author hang out during the development of this
system and record the events... now.. saved for an eternity in print form.
being a historian I just love to see events recorded in this fashion!

No affiliation, just noticed this DG Eclipse
MV/7800 system,
still intact, on ePay for $495. Located in Ames, Iowa; still
has almost 7 days to run.
Share and Enjoy,
