In a recent posting I complained about my Wren VI not working correctly and later found out that some pins were bent. I suggested that this might have been an error of one of the CAM-robots at NeXT. However someone pointed out to me, that it is unlikely that the robots would do such a thing as > This happens all the time with 50-pin, 1/10 inch > center headers if the plug is removed or inserted at an angle. Now I read in FORTUNE (2/26/90)an article about the NeXT factory. There are a few nice pictures, and some interesting facts about this factory, and well it also says that final assembly i.e. plugging the whole thing together is done manually => it really wasn't the robots mistake... :) Ronald ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
