Or perhaps he was talking about Data ("The Soul of a New Machine") General, which is firing 1,300 people and closing its U.S. plants for five days this summer? -- Jan Wolitzky, AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ; 201 582-2998; alice!wolit (Affiliation given for identification purposes only) /* ---------- */ Actually, he was advising them to emulate Jobs and Wozniak by selling black boxes to steal thousands of dollars in long distance phone calls from AT&T! :-)
