Found on comp.sys.encore, where someone misposted a message:

It's a little-known fact that the Nanobus, in addition to its uses as a
multiprocessing system backplane, has a second function as a bike rack.
The SCC can also be used as a jack, and the various CPU cards are very
handy in winter when you need that little bit of extra traction.  Just
goes to show that we really care about our customers and have designed
our components to be useful in as many ways as possible.

But seriously, folks . . . I think there's another newsgroup that would
be more appropriate for this discussion.

For the humor-impaired (they can't help it, folks):  :-) :-) :-)

(The original poster, John R. Mudd, apparently realized his mistake
immediately after hitting "return", his apology for the misposting
appeared (here) immediately after the misposting, before any other
postings, including the one above.)
