sombody oughta poke Lee & Sam to make sure our beloved one-flew-over-the-cuckoo's-nest R&D building and all of its data is sealed up tight, both physically and virtually.

to think of Geoff's lifework getting raided out from under is, well, terrifying.
wonder if I shouldn't offer them a deep-dive audit (in exchange for options, of course...)
