Too late for the Sords

Sorry to have worked up a lot of commotion for nothing, but earlier today
I received the news that we are too late to save the Sords. They were
thrown in a container and dumped God-knows-where a little more than a week
ago. Let us hope that they were at least disassembled and recycled. The
guy I spoke with says that there may be a few tape drives left (not Sord
CR-5, but other models for Sord's business range). If anyone is
interested, contact Claes Borlid directly at +46 (0)31 887613.

It grieves my heart that this treasure could not be saved. It is small
comfort that even if we had acted faster we would not have been in time.

PS. The company did save a few working machines of various models so that
they can set up their own museum in the future. Thus, not quite everything
was lost forever.
