Joe,
I just found a message you wrote back in September mentioning a selection
of old track tape drives. I run a computer department on the services side
of the Oil industry and we specialise in maintaining and transcribing data
from these older types of media. We have almost everything used in our
industry from analogue tapes onwards. Anyway, I am always trying to find
21, 7 and 9 track tape drives, especially old IDT's. Would you still have
the drives you mentioned in your email? If so I'd like to know if you'd be
prepared to let them go to a good home where they can spin tapes again?
Best regards,
Jan.

VERITAS Software Corporation (NASDAQ: VRTS) is headquartered in Mountain
View, Calif.,
and employs more than 6,300 people in 36 countries. With annualized
revenues over $1.5 billion
in 2002, VERITAS Software ranks among the top 10 software companies in
the world.
Through its award-winning and market-leading products focused on
business efficiency
and continuity, VERITAS Software provides the building blocks for
utility computing.
This is a big operation, Any transactions with this company should be on
a BUSINESS basis.
That then begs the question, Is it ethical ( to a CC'er ) to sell or
give classic equipment to
a large corporation for the profit of this operation when access to this
equipment forever
after would be at $1000/hr? It's also an oil operation, not one of the
most ethical businesses.
One more question? Has Veritas ever done anything to help the CC cause?
