Subject: B6700 story from Sharktank
"It's 2 o'clock in the morning. Halloween. Suddenly, the two screens go
blank. Then two closed eyes appear. Slowly open. Eyeballs look slowly to
the left, then slowly to the right -- then slowly stare straight ahead.
Then eyelids slowly close, the two displays blank, and go back to scrolling
plain text.
"Of course, nobody is going to believe the operator..."
A friend at CDC gave me a punched card deck that would run that program.
The computer operators at the University were more than a little
freaked out when they saw the eyes.
No, I don't have the card deck anymore.
