btw I remember the old 60s ADR ads on their flowcharter, including the original one where they had a picture of their office build on fire. I seem to remember a plane crashed into it. The pitch was that having all source on tape instead of cards meant their little company was not out of business after the fire.
The Princeton office was across the street from the airport, and one day a plane came in a little too low, and hit the second story of the building. At the time they also had a programming office in northern Virginia, and could have recovered some stuff from there. The "source on tape" was the creation of Mike Guzik, who commuted from Princeton to DC, and got sick and tired of dragging around boxes of cards on the projects we worked on.
