Once upon a time - while a field droid for NCR we used
to maintain
stuff based on their '605' mini-computer and had one in the shop
to copy tapes and test boards (One of my grocery stores still used
one with do-nut core memory in mid '85). Suddenly we got a new
manager, suddenly the 605 was unceremoniously tossed into the
dumpster. Any one of 5 or 7 techs would have gladly taken it
home to their garage but nooooo, it was given an indecent burial
in the name of 'fairness'.
Was the manager given a "decent" burial, or is he "missing and
presumed"?
