I don't see how a loss of two days of data could delay System 7.0 by 
months.

According to the director of facilities at Apple, everyone should be back 
at work by today Wednesday.  (In other words, the people from De Anza 3 
should all be relocated.  I know that some of the people were back working 
as early as Tuesday morning.)  So far, I haven't seen any reports of data 
loss, and I've seen several reports of "no loss of data".

Earlier reports were wrong.  De Anza 3 is fundamentally sound.  The 
interior will have to be refurbished, however.
