I joke at one point I was working first shift in research (bldg. 28), 2nd shift in GPD (disk engineering &test, bldg. 14&15), and 3rd shift in STL (on a project supporting IMS group, bldg. 90) with periodic visits to palo alto for hone (one street over from page mill). random refs: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#disk http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hone http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#fairshare http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#wsclock http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hsdt -- Anne & Lynn Wheeler | ly...@garlic.com - http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/
