David Beigie is the same spokesman who stated quite clearly in the Denver
Post article that (I don't have the exact quote) "Blosser was given access
to the system". Hmm...so much for hacking or the charge of computer fraud
(which must show *unauthorized* access).
But, nevertheless, the strike occurred subsequent to the alleged slowdown in
Phoenix back in May.
Note, I still dispute (as may others of you) that NT Prime could cause a 3-5
second delay to turn into a 5 minute delay, hard drive thrashing or not.
Bear in mind that these machines were Pentium 133's and 166's with 64MB of
RAM apiece. The only software that these things ran was an XWindow server
(RumbaX if I recall).
Sigh...
