Remember how it works?  There are still a few of us around that helped
design it.  Don't forget that those 8" floppy drives were designed in
Rochester, too.  I think it was invented in San Jose, but we really
commercialized it.  Still got one in the corner of my office.    

But regardless of what some of the new guys around here think, I did not
work on the 407.
