Warning to ARPAnauts (joke intended for ARPAnet)

[geoff at utcsstat.UUCP]

All the silly people I know used PDP-10's and later UNIX*.

If using PDP-10's followed by UNIX makes people silly, then the entire
ARPA community should beware of silly behaviour when the huge ARPAnet
host switchover from Twenex to Berkeley VAX ``UNIX'' happens.  :-)
[ 4.2BSD may not be UNIX, but it has the name, plus the backing of the
biggest war machine on the planet.  Hey, if they *say* it's UNIX, and
point a nuke at me, I'll agree.  :-< ]

VAX and PDP are trademarks of DEC, but it's hardly worth mentioning,
since their lawyers aren't as hungry as Bell's.
