The Perq was
the result of a visit (sabbatical?) at Xerox PARC
by one of the principals of Three Rivers Computer, much like
the way Lilith originated from Wirth's experiences there.... --Bill
Ah, hah! Do I correctly surmise that the correct pronunciation of
"Perq" is /park/ = [pahrk] (cf
dictionary.com "park") and not /p3rk/
= [purk] (cf
dictionary.com, "perk") ?
Hmmm.. I've always heard it prodounced as 'purk'.... But 'park' would
have a certain logic to it, based on the ancestry, I guess...

'Real
Quick' at the end...]
