Anyone know? I want to ask him how he acquired the
pre-production art he has from the movie "Colossus: 
The Forbin Project", and whether he'd consider selling
it.

Over the weekend, I read David Lundstrom's book
	A Few Good Men from Univac
A book actually about CDC.  You might actually find a way to contact
LT from DL (probably not very hard).

This book was recommended by my officemate George Michael who actually did
program a Univac I.  I recommend this MIT Press book as a fast read.
Included are: Seymour Cray stories, the IBM memo on "how could a 34 person
company make a machine faster than IBM?" and other stories.  It offers
lessons on running high tech companies.  Inexpensive.  Order from MIT Press
bookstore.  It was particularly amusing as my host for the weekend was
from Xerox PARC (he wanted to give the book to all his Xerox execs).
