[Jeff Martens <martens@cis.ohio-state.edu> sez: 
|I've heard a couple of rumors regarding Encore, and I'm curious if
|there's any truth to either:
|
We've heard that Ohio State is in trouble due to lack of applications...
:-)

|Rumor 1) They have a new machine coming out that's better than the
|Multimax. 
|
Hell yes.  It's a tough job but somebody has to do it!

|Rumor 2) They are having financial difficulties.
|
So who (Digital, Alliant, etc etc) isn't??  Ours are, from where I
sit not priv to any "official" info, due to the very healthy
perspective of introducing new products.  American companies/
investors have too short a horizon.. We should be looking 10 years
down the road like Japan does.

|Rumor 3) The Multimax bus doubles as a bike rack.
|
Not so!  It's really a planter.

|drink.  The appendage you save may be your own.

Some of my best friends are spearfish.
