miniscribe were a struggling hard disk manufacturer. i think they sold 5MB drives to start with.
business failed, so they got in someone literally called "mr fix-it" on wall street. he's the bastard who "rescued" adobe and turned it into the monster it is today.
mr fix-it just bullied everyone, fired people for minor things and demanded more. consequently, people started faking results to keep their jobs.
they ended up doing fucking everything. in one case, they sent out bricks to retailers, marking them as sales. then the retailers sent them back and they marked them as inventory, thus doubling the number of hard drives!
"Account BW" was one of the primary places where they would ship bricks. BW = Big Warehouse.
