Tom didn't write that, I did. My posting of this (to
rec.humor only) was marked "Satire" and was following up a *very*
funny "Advanced User's Guide to the DEC Rainbow PC100 Users
Guide". For unknown reasons, Tom Yager posted this to rec.humor
and comp.unix.xenix a day after I did with no indication where it
came from.
It *is* satire, many of us in the AT&T world (I'm a VAR/ISV)
chuckle at the humor even though it is not nearly so true as it
might have in the past (I've been using 3B2/3B5s since 1984 -- I
could tell some *great* stories).
Sorry if it offended anybody or that it found its way
outside of rec.humor. Also, I don't get comp.unix.xenix so
flames or notes should be sent via email.
Regards,
Steve
