It's the voice recognition on Macs you need to take care with...I was dictating a letter to a patient and suggested that he "would benefit from losing weight". The letter typed as that he "would benefit from losing wife".

And yeah, we caught it before it was sent.

Are you sure the latter wasn't more accurate or a Freudian Slip?

There have been a couple of books written promoting the theory George Hickey's AR-15 accidentally discharged hitting JFK. Like many others of my generation, I can still vividly
recall where & what I was doing on that fateful Friday.

When I was hired, they were just starting to ramp up production from a qty of about 10/month to several hundred per month. I worked in the RF Test Equipment group that was responsible for the testing equipment design and build for use in the anechoic test chambers. (example chamber picture below)

Edit: to clarify, the RF seeker/control system were manufactured at the plant above, other sub-components were provided by other defense contract mfrs.
