Sad. 30 years ago, it was filled with more PhD's than Los Alamos.

Hmm. 2006-30=1976. Not the summit of GM product design, IMHO. If those pointy heads had anything to do with that Chevette era, then good riddance.

Yeah, maybe. Not my concern. I just found it interesting, when I got there in 1999, that the place was a dust farm. It had had a reputation rivaling MIT, for innovation and scientific exploration. Draper Labs, Darpa, and GM.

Then I made the mistake, of picking a piece of paper off of the ground, and the whole place shut down for two days, for union grievances.

Tell me again why anyone would buy GM? I forget.
