Archival problems? (was Re: S & S capo)

[Newton Hunt]

We could have had the CD ROM by July.  ECC had two bids.  One was from
my neighbor across the street whose company does this for fortune 500
companies like Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Rutgers, Bristol Meyers,
etc., etc.  Ours would have been a pet project of theirs because of
its uniqueness.

The board decided it wanted more bids.

This would have been MY project, MY Journals (disassembled in the
prcess) and _I_ would have been on site watching the project.

So, Jim, vent away and I'll join you.
