Pei staircases suffered no damage whatsoever, not even any tiny cracks. In fact, NeXT suffered minimal damage, some spilled juice and some dropped ceiling. The entire corporate data network was up the following morning, when the power returned. We suffered no damage to our NeXT computers, and no data loss. All of our buildings were declared safe. Our shipping schedule has not changed. In fact, a shipment went out on time Wednesday. Business as usual. Peter King NeXT Systems Software >From: jpd00964@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu
