SCRAPPED?? I knew they scrapped their PDP-6 and sold the pieces, but I
hadn't heard about any Altos being scrapped. Damn. Idiots. Is there a
definitive list of sins they've committed? :| <-- only half-smiling

There's an Alto at the new History Center at Moffett Field, but I don't know
if it works or not.
