Not that I like or want Comcast

	Comcast has several "main" offices in Southfield. One of them is
stuffed to the gills with technology, it has a glass walled room bigger
than my house that looks like mission control. So many many
monitors....... I don't know if it's anything besides eye candy, but I
would guess it actually does something because it's behind several badge
card access doors.
