Talk:ReserVec

"Sales of the new Ferranti-Packard 6000 were just starting when the UK headquarters used the design to sweeten the deal when selling off their UK computer divisions, handing the design to the ICT who took over production. This was much to the chagrin of the Canadian staff, most of whom quit in disgust." These statements are somewhat controversial. IMHO the problem was that sales staff had difficulty selling FP6000 computers to organizations which had no sensitivity to the Canadian origin of the FP6000. In 1964, the bulk of the hardware and software development had been completed and so the engineers, technicians and programmers were laid off in two stages. I speak as a programmer who resigned as my 18-month contract was expiring. Rdmoore6 (talk) 23:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
