I knew things weren't peachy at the Labs, but I didn't realize they were
abysmal.
Plus, what a great way to bolster investor confidence:
"Lucent Technologies: We 'downsized' a National Medal of Technology
winner."
So if I win the lottery tonight, any idea of the going price for the

(Maybe $1M in office space and gear, and another $1.5M per employee in
exchange for showing up at work when it suits them? Bring your own
healthcare....)

P.S.
I'd hire your glassblower, too. I think he's one of five people in the
