There was a hasty auction of lab tools and furniture and who knows what
came of the rest of it. One of the software developers bought a system
for a song, but as far as I know, he was the only one who bothered.
Even though I had some of my own blood, sweat, and tears in the system,

I worked at a start up called ShoGraphics,

At the time I was working at E&S and we competed with ShoGraphics; the
ESV was a PEX implementation.
