Yep, that was the place - I can't remember their name, I think they were the Autocad
rep, and carried a few complementary lines like plotters.
The R1 was laying down on some stands, like a coffee table, plexi cover so you could set
your drinks on it and see all the intricate wiring, tubes and construction.
One of the Texas Microsystems founders (and a Rice alum) got possession, and after a few
years gave it back to Rice.

There was a 'slice' of the R1 floating

Were they the owners of a small office building off of Post Oak in Houston
in the 1970s-1980s?
That's the only one I know about that survived.
