Sometimes I hear about work done there that I'd like to follow up on, but I have no idea where to start. For starters, I assume that everybody had to write up periodical reports on their work. Was that stuff archived and is it still accessible someplace? What about software that got to the point that it actually had users beyond the developers? I know that major commercial projects like UNIX are tied up in licensing limbo, but does that apply to absolutely everything made there? There is the AT&T Archives and History Center in Warren, NJ. Is it worth asking if they have old tech reports? -- http://www.fastmail.com - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again
