During my time in the R&D Department I saw the MTF bench (the very first MTF bench in the world, according to some) sawn into pieces with a hacksaw. I'm not sure if things have changed since I left, but in my time even if staff wanted to buy obsolete equipment we were expressly forbidden from doing so. I saw many examples of this kind of vandalism and waste while I was there. David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk David.Morton@openconsulting.co.uk (+44) 171 917 6272
