Now that would be a challenge ! I've visited the place once many moons
ago and I remember that the security was tight then but I'd have to
wonder what it would be like now...

"Uh, can I keep the hard drives ?"

(to wife) "But honey, with all that glow there's no longer a need for
light bulbs"

Ok, joking aside. I might see what can be done but I'm not expecting
anything.

I didn't know N was involved there as well. I thought it was all ABB.

Thanks for the info, it sure is (from a technical standpoint) an interesting
facility. Certainly not your average industrial complex :-)
