Then there are the companies that have learned the hard way about lack of

Boeing (you could hold the part in one hand and it was all fabric) where we
had to hire a guy to keep track of the spec revisions and clear out an
office to hold it all--this was in the days before electronic
distribution--the spec arrived on a pallet.



Pretty funny actually. I have seen that too. Since I won't do gov't
contracts anymore I don't see it very much. I did enjoy your story
tho... LOL

Been in High Tech since 68 -- have never worked for a company that
wasn't all electronic format (of some kind) on the specs and product
definitions -- except clients. So I can't really relate personally --
but it's still funny.
