    Yes, of course, Martin.  A billion-year C-org contract is
    required at every scieno installation except Sales 
    Franchises, FSMs and Class For Orgs.

    Week-to-week, 2.5 and 5 year contracted staff at non-SO 
    installations.  However the senior execs of even non-SO 
    orgs, are billion-year contracted C-org quasi-military 
    robots.

    Right.  But the execs were undoubtedly SO, unless it was 
    before 1982.
