Speaking of halon and VAXen, how many here are familiar with the
humorous short story named "VAXen My Children"? For those who aren't
familiar with it, there's a copy somewhere on my web site, or you can
just FTP the file vaxen-my-children.gz (5.994 kb) from:
perqlogic.com in /pub/rdd/pdp/humor
Enjoy! P.S. - the separate computer-humor archive is also accessible
via my web page for those who aren't familiar with it... dozens and
dozens of ASCII files of comuter humor going back the the earliest
days of the 'net.
Of course, the VAX puts out way more heat for less
work, so I'm doing
more to hasten the heat death of the universe than a room full of
Pentiums.
<grin> Everyone needs a hobby....
ROFL! :-)
