I BEG your pardon, forty is fine 8-{).

You can bet IBM will announce their discovery of a new approach to computing.
They will dub it multitasking and the official name will be OS/2.

They did this with 5 1/4 inch floppies about 7 or eight years ago and have
mentioned a new more portable media in a smaller size in the past 2 years.

I can hardly wait for this new inovation maybe they have developed a disk that
will fit in a shirt pocket. WOW!
