Excuse me if this isn't Exactly right, but I seem
to recall some on
in IBM saying that Thomas Watson Jr got a phone call one day. It
went...
TWJ: Thomas Watson here
CLR: Is that Thomas Watson Jnr.
TWJ: Yes
CLR: and you are the head of IBM
TWJ: Yes
CLR and you first name is Thomas
TWJ: yes
CLR: and you are the head of IBM
TWJ: yes
CLE: and you are in your office
TWJ: yes, but what do you want
CLR: Just thought I would show what it is like trying set up and SNA
session. Bye...
Not to bring in nasty facts or anything, but Tom Jr. retired from IBM
in 1971, after a heart attack.
SNA was introduced in 1974.
