An key part of Sequent was the corporate culture, driven in large part by the corporate vales.

[edit] Clean up

This article needs to be gutted if no sources are cited. It looks like some sort of blog and seems rather long for a short lived company. Also the opening paragraph is far too long. Aboutmovies 04:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I wrote this article after extensively researching the topic. The only reason that there aren't refs is because there was no ref requirement or system in place at the time. You don't erase valid content just because it doesn't meet changing formatting requirements! I really don't understand what led you to conclude it looks like a blog. And the opening paragraph is two sentences long. I don't want to sound whiny, but you'll need to be more specific in what you think the problems are. Maury 20:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

The link in this Sequent Computer article for Casey Powell to Wikipedia's "Casey Powell" is not the correct Casey Powell. The existing link is for a Lacrosse player who graduated from Syracuse in 1998. I am sure a fine young man.

The Casey Powell who was CEO and Chairman of Sequent Computer graduated from King's Point in 1966. A good and current bio for this (Sequent's) Casey Powell can be found on the Xiotech website at

[edit] More Clean up

The link to "Scott Gibson" late in the article is also not the correct Scott Gibson. "C. Scott Gibson" is the appropriate individual and a bio can be found here --> http://www.radisys.com/corporate/management.cfm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.161.179 (talk) 21:36, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
