In 1984, I told it to Jerry Pournelle.
Q: Who was I quoting THEN?
Jerry used to come by our Comdex and Computer Faire booths for a beer.
I told my staff to put a cold beer in his hand immediately when he
arrived. We could afford very little advertising other than "free ink".
A: Wilson Price, founder of our department in mid 1960s, and author of a
few textbooks.
