Just got my hands on the local library's copy of
The New Hacker's
Dictionary, 2nd ed (couldn't pass it up even though I've read it
online), and I noticed that the entry for AOS mentions a joke manual
called "How to Goad and Levitate your CHAOS System". Does anybody have
a copy of this? Bitsavers?
You might try tracking down Terry Dowling, last at Adobe, and see if you
can get a pointer to a copy.
What would really be nice are the spoof advertisements that they did,
including the Infos ad (a spoof on the "Rinso" ads, with an arm holding
a box labeled "Infos" coming out of a Zebra SMD drive) and the "Look for
the DG label" parody (sung to the tune of "Look for the union label").
