Trivia

I used to do a good deal of work at the Institute for Telecommunications Sciences, which is at the bottom of the mountain from the main NCAR complex. We'd go up there frequently, as they had a great cafeteria.

They stopped having visits to their supercomputer facility after some some Cub Scouts jumped up and down on a Cray computer and disabled it. It's in a windy location, but, since the time the anemometer blew away, they won't speculate how windy. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
