He was part of the team that looked through the watergate email (profs) and he was also involved in trying to get data from some of the drives. He didn't go into a lot of detail but there was some effort to try and recover overwritten data. I also did not press him for details. One thing he did tell me was that the White House was using fiber optics for channels. That was decade before IBM made it GA. Something about not having large cables between rooms so if a bomb hit nothing could be leaked between rooms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
