a wallet!
mike_c: limited partners buy into
a vc fund and don't expect to see it back for 10 years
mike_c: yeah, eating it seems bad: At Cray Research we used Flourinert extensively in the Tritons, and if we ever had
a 'burn', where
a circuit failed and heated it to boiling, we had to evacuate the building immediately, as the gas is the most powerful carcinogen known... 1 part in 5 billion if memory serves
