I bought Leif's MI manual, used it quite a bit back in the day before most shops blocked restoring MI programs.
The PO box or address for FAST400 was in a shopping center across Hwy 52 from IBM's plant in Rochester...
That's hilarious! High-level "in your face" right there. That whole episode of FBI agents busting into a hotel room ?with guns drawn? (do I have that right?) when Leif and his partners thought they were going to negotiate with IBM. Fun times.
For all you newbies, you know that 4-paragraph notice that appears in every bloody PTF cover letter since 20 years ago? That's thanks to the FAST400 fiasco.

Art, since you said it, I also thought I'd heard that it was Leif. His magnum opus on MI is still available.
The PO box or address for FAST400 was in a shopping center across Hwy 52 from IBM's plant in Rochester, as I recall. I didn't find an address now, but I did find a thread, including Dan Bale, whom we see in these lists these days, with some emails from a Chance Taylor, presumable with Tiger Tools
In my browsing about I found a link to a CHAP (Computer History Archive Project) YouTube about maybe Rochester when it made the 400. I wonder if any of us know anyone in it.
