History
In the mid 1950s, the company was involved in uranium exploration in the Ambrosia Lake area of McKinley County, New Mexico. A number of law suits were tried regarding ownership of the claims and the ore produced.[3] The company was cited in an undated draft document from the 21st century as being one of several that interfered with the Hozho (a way of life) for the Navajo people.[4]

Initial testing versions appeared helpful and were being considered for release, but the project was shut down after its computation began to take up a large amount of server tick time even when not used.
