You know, the same company that does not have
dis[kc]s, but DASD.
Some guy from IBM came to MIT to give a talk about some database
system that they had, and he kept referring to 'DASD'. Puzzled looks.
Finally some brave soul stuck up his hand, and asked was a DASD might
be. Quoth the guy, 'round brown'! :-) He was actually very sharp, and
we liked his system, but I don't recall anything about it, other than
that line!
