The recently established site for accessing the entire publication run
of BSTJ online, namely
http://bstj.bell-labs.com/
continues to give some troubles in downloading articles, as reported
earlier by others.
I've also found that requested downloads often run for a long time with
nothing happening, after which my browser (Safari on a Mac) puts up a
message like "Output file damaged" with no visible file in the PDF
plugin window,
Either asking the browser to resend the file or simply clicking at the
end of the URL in the browser's URL field and hitting return, often
brings up the desired article, however, sometimes very quickly.
If others continue to have troubles and report them here, I can try to
pass them on to my old-timer Bell Labs contacts.

Subject: Camouflaged cellphone tower plans for Cupertino CA
Message-ID: <4CD1DF5E.9040504@thadlabs.com>
Despite the local Cupertino CA residents' fight against the deployment,
this is the first cellphone tower plan I've ever seen and I thought it
interesting to share with the group. Visiting the following URL will
bring up a 7-page, 2.2MB PDF of the proposed AT&T tower facility:

Is it going to be in the shape of an Apple?

And the _first_? The eyesight? The balance? The erectile function? The bank
