...Operation Match had incurred a sizable loss, and they were going to need additional capital to keep going. Somehow, Tarr and company found a New York firm--Data Processing, Inc.--who agreed to support them financially. Tarr and Crump had been joined at the end of the spring by Ginsburg, who had dropped out of Cornell ("Out of boredom," Tarr says) during the spring term. By mid summer, Vaugh Morrill had lost interest and had decided to leave the corporation. Therefore, under the present arrangement, Tarr, Crump, and Ginsburg are the three principle stock holders...

There is no denying that Tarr, Crump, and Ginsburg have, before anyone else, developed a very interesting, very profitable by-product of the modern technological revolution. Their drive and foresight have been proven, and seems like the future may belie the outcome Krump contemplated in another one of his tunes...
