That's right; my mistake. (I know several people with similar names and a

There are a few people who attribute FIRST use of the quote to others,
including Warren Jackson.

hence the phrase "to paraphrase" to alter it to the cargo plane project.

BTW, it is usually quoted as a "STATION WAGON full of tapes".


But can ANYTHING exceed the bandwidth of misinformation, or bad news?
