I guess I need to draft a letter to the executor of this mess, asking them to please open AI, look in the inside metal pocket on the door, and read the letter I wrote when Rich came out to pick the system up. Because I knew inside that this would happen. It happened at MIT, happened at FTP, happened at Sandstorm, happened at Digex. And each time I had to go out AGAIN and pick the damn thing up to take care of it. Funny. I said at the time that Paul would never go bankrupt or lose interest and that AI was finally safe. But I knew in my heart it wouldn't be. So I guess it's time to rent a U-Haul Again.... So who do I contact?
