*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR RUMOUR ***
Paladin/VisiCorp is across the street from us. Paladin, who was developing
some sort of an AI based integrated thingy, was formed by some ex Visi
people. After remerging with Visicorp (after a bloodbath at Visi), the newly
formed Paladin/VisiCorp decided that they really wanted to stay in software
publishing. They layed off most of their technical people (some of whom
were QAing CRUNCH as their final assignment). Now, cars are seldom seen in
their parking lot past 6:00pm. Also, CRUNCH wasn't developed in-house.
An apocryphal story about the old Visicorp told that the only manager in-house
who actually *used* any of their products was Mitch Kapor.
