Ah, the 99/4As. My first "real" job was on the assembly line at Texas
Instruments putting together these puppies. It made quite an impression
being on the job all of 15 minutes then being asked to drop several
newly assembled machines from a height of 4 feet onto a thinly carpeted
manufacturing floor as part of a drop test. As I recall, in the 2 years
I worked there, we did that test exactly once.
