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. Matt Mashyna Macintosh Initiative, H&SS Dean's Office Carnegie Mellon

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...). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions

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.
