Hi, Fred. You were looking at a partial quote of what I wrote. The e-mail program was in
HP Timeshare BASIC, 1971 & 1972. PCs, used on a daily basis since about a year after
they came out.
When I was a lttle kid, I asked what "spindle" meant, and why there was
any need to say, "Do not fold, spindle, staple, or mutilate."
Heh. If one were writing that now, it would be "shish-kebob" rather
than "spindle."
But, do y'all have to constantly remind me how old I'm getting?
Get off my lawn. <Grin>
