[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Earth Quake & Apple

mm5l+@andrew.cmu.edu (Matthew Mashyna) (10/20/89)

I haven't seen anything from the usual Apple guys lately. I heard an
interview with a guy in Cupertino the other day. He said the place was a
mess. Does anyone know if Apple was affected ? I hope our friends are OK.

Thanks for the note of concern.

Some of us are OK, and some of us aren't. The building that I'm in is slightly
cracked, but useable. My home took about 5 minutes to clean up, and only one
wine glass was broken.

On the other hand, two of our buildings have been totalled, and some people have
lost thousands of dollars in personal damages. The good side to all of this is
that no one's been hurt.

You probably haven't heard anything from us for a while because our VAX was
down for a while (power is kind of sketchy...).

Actually, we're all dead. Keith was only kidding about the minor
damage.

Seriously though, in all of Apple, only one person was hurt (they
sprained their ankle leaving the building). Pretty amazing,
considering the number of people involved.

There are still a couple of buildings closed, but most of Apple
is back on its feet.

Thanks for your concern.
