The US Government should buy it and make it a national monument. PARC up for sale? I didn't realize that Xerox was hurting so badly. posted by Steven Den Beste (4 comments total)
Sad, sad times, surely someone can buy PARC and preserve it? posted by Markb at 3:48 PM on October 19, 2000
Perhaps it can be retooled as an incubator. It is very sad, when I was younger, the name sounded oddly magical, with that exotic spelling and aura of pure noble science. I cannot think of any institution this side of the Bell Labs that I have such affection for. Maybe Fermi Lab, but not really, it does not have the magic. posted by thirteen at 3:56 PM on October 19, 2000
How much might PARC cost now (for an investor/university/government)? The article says something about Fuji-Xerox partnership. Does that mean Fuji is part owner of PARC? If a partner is involved, wouldn't it drive up the price for PARC?
Xerox and Fuji have been allied for nearly 40 years. Most of the international operations are known as "Fuji Xerox". There is a "Fuji Xerox PARC" but it's only a couple of years old.
Fuji may own part of Xerox, but they don't own PARC /per se/. posted by dhartung at 8:21 AM on October 20, 2000

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
