And how many computer developments came from the Bell Telephone labs.
C: They were were experimenting w/biological computers at one point. I think they may have
gotten close to a NAND gate utilizing 2 slugs (the slimy kind).
?I met a guy last winter, who was very down on his luck, but had quite a resume (We stood
out in the cold for 3+ hours talking w/him. My feet were frozen). He claimed that Northern
Telecom in Canada was way ahead of anything Bell Labs/AT & T was doing. Perhaps not
w/slugs though.
