Info on SAGE belongs in that article. Since SAGE was activated in 1961 and the network operated until 1983, I doubt the Minot AFB SAGE was taken offline in 1963 as per User: Muj0 [[1]]. I got info from http://www.mitre.org/about/sage.html and from http://history.acusd.edu/gen/20th/sage.html. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cafe Nervosa 04:49, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] USAF is wrong?

I don't like to argue, it seems that you have plenty of sources that do not agree, but I got my information from Minot's Official Website Muj0 05:04, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• You ask a question that can start a lengthy debate, but deactivation in May 1963 seams like a waste of money. There may have been "military intelligence" behind the deactivation. I will return the Minot SAGE deactivation into the artcile, but perhaps others can shed light on why this installation was deactivated while the SAGE network was operated into the1980s.
