This clearly shows that you can't judge a situation from way it looks 
initially.  Until a couple of days ago, no one could say what equipment 
was damaged because it hadn't been tried yet.

Since when is MacWEEK the ultimate in reliable information.  De Anza 3 was 
inspected right after the earthquake, and by the Thursday afterward was 
found to be safe to reenter to remove equipment.  There's no way employees 
would have been allowed to enter the building if it was structurally 
unsound.
